So, it’s not that I wouldn’t go if I was given the opportunity. And it’s not that I don’t think there are a handful of extremely talented artists participating, because of course all of that is true. HOWEVER…with that said…I have minimal desire to attend ACL. GASP, I know. There’s just something about all the [...]

Some Hometown Inspiration
Like I’ve said many times before, I do love where I’m from. There’s something pretty special about Salem, Oregon, although it might not be obvious to the masses. I wouldn’t say it’s a good place for young adults, but it’s a great place to be raised. In Salem, we are lucky enough to have a [...]

Jam Sesh.
I love going out to explore all the amazing things Austin has to offer. However, one of my all-time favorite things to do is to spend a night in, jamming.

Walking + Music
Took a solid 2 1/2 hour walk this evening. Love how walkable Austin is. This time of year is also a perfect time of year to go walking. After work, the weather is probably in the upper 70s…perfect. Also love that Austin is so active, the trail is generally packed. I walked by a bunch [...]

Where’s Kim?
It’s like Where’s Waldo…except for with me. (; This video was shot during a show with Quiet Company at The Parish this past October. Here’s the hint. I can be found a handful of times throughout the video, probably for a grand total of 8 seconds…max. Good luck. And, of course, enjoy (=

Hanging out at Goodwill
If you were ever curious about what I spend my Sunday afternoons doing… I usually end up doing fairly random things that probably no one else would enjoy doing…but I find some element of enjoyment, so I suppose that’s all that matters, right? (= The Sunday before yesterday, I spent a good hour at Goodwill, [...]
