Getting to see @ekkoastral.bsky.social play this then new song every night on tour with us in 2024 was the greatest of privileges. In the canon of things I will return to again and again and again.
i cried a few times during this performance. i90 is dedicated to my trans siblings and anyone who doesn’t want us to die in some national self-inflicted AIDS crisis. i hope you watch and feel what we felt

Singing along with @ekkoastral.bsky.social and then getting to hug so many of my friends that experience the fresh hell that is being trans in Utah after the set was so meaningful to me. Music is hope. We will win, and we won’t stop singing.

presenting: “i90” live for the first time featuring @brosaleigh.bsky.social

when i first wrote this tune, it was for a world where trans folks one day were losing healthcare and rights across the country

i did not think that world would come so soon

this is the definitive performance of the song
