This picture might not look like much. Just a bunch of gear strewn about in my control room, with its shitty carpet and Star Wars posters. There’s some great stuff there. Maybe you’ll spot some great pedals (looking at you @strymonengineering 😊) or my beat up and beautiful 50’s epiphone nylon string. But what you’re really seeing here is a personal hope. This is the first image from my rehearsal set up for playing LIVE shows in the near future. I’m not going to whine about how hard it’s been to not do what I do. I have it easier than probably 99% of the world. But what I realized over the course of the last year is that a part of who I am is a performer. Maybe that sounds arrogant, but I don’t think it is. I think it’s just a part of who I am. Bald, beard, dad, partner, friend, performer. And if my mental health issues over the past year are evidence, it’s a big thing to me. Playing live music to and with people I care about is one of the great joys of my life. And it’s been one of the biggest parts of my life for nearly 15 years. Highs and lows and everything in between. Late night hangs with @scorpionfader, @abbygundersen, @denisonwitmer, @pfgallenga, and @mariogalvang. 14 hour van drives. There’s been plenty of pain. Missing the birth of my youngest daughter. But there’s been so much JOY. Making some of the best friendships I’ll ever have. Pain and joy and just plain life. What I get to do is a dream come true. It really is. And the last year made me feel like that dream was so far away it might never return. But here we are. Perhaps this post will come off as an advertisement. Hell, maybe it is! But for any of you that miss this as much as I do, I can’t wait to see you again and make more lifetime memories TOGETHER. I love you all very much. Now back to practicing. ❤️

Happy birthday @_wendyleesmith One of the kindest, strongest, and most courageous humans I’ve ever met. I’m a better person simply by knowing and learning from you.

The 6th single off of William’s upcoming album “Ready the Astronaut”, out on 6/25 is available now! Check out what William has to say about “To Love Forever” and stream/download it at the link in the bio.
“The closing chapter of a difficult book, but one that ends not on ambiguity or confusion or depression, but rather gratitude and peace and contentment. As much as I adore the story of Icarus, and the beautiful warnings it has to share, I've always thought that it misses a very fundamental beauty that we don't seem to cherish any longer: that failing to fly is not a "failure," it's a beautiful bravery that we should be inspired by. Yes, he fell to the earth and died. But perhaps the beauty and happiness he knew from having gotten closer to the sun than anyone else's eyes ever would made that return from the atmosphere the happiest, most peaceful moments of his life. Sometimes we fly, sometimes we fall. But both can teach us joy.”
I am beyond thrilled to share with you that my fiancé @sambergermoves and I are going to be welcoming a new baby into the family in several months. Love you more than I can explain, Sam. And I can’t wait to meet our new little human 😊. Already got a guitar ready 💜. Hands seem particularly well suited to folk music. 😉
