Just back home from a barnstorm of a trip to Europe and am grateful for the over the top response to the new music and direction of Lullaby for the Lost. Many thanks to all the fans who came out and showed us so much love.

It is an honor to share the stage with @gailanndorsey.bsky.social. She never ceases to inspire me.

See you again tonight, San Francisco.

We had a particularly meaningful Blackstar Symphony show in Nashville. Tony Visconti flew down to check it out, and we had Dave Linaburg join us on guitar for the encores.

We are all looking forward to San Francisco next week - 6/26 & 27!

With new music on the horizon, I’m looking back and remembering another mentor: my high school band director, Don Keller. This is the front cover of an album that my high school jazz band did when I was 14 years old. Don Keller is on the upper row, right side. 🧵 (1/9)

As I’m in the midst of finishing an album, was thinking about my beginnings and how my father, Don McCaslin, played a big role in how my musical DNA developed. 🧵 (1/4)
