Thanksgiving season is upon us in the United States, which for those of you who may know me will know, it’s the time I choose to make an impact in the world! Every year around this time, my community and I raise funds for World Central Kitchen, a top-rated nonprofit (check that link to audit…
I’ve been bad at keeping up with this again and I apologize! I have a lot of updates and I’m not even sure where to start so I’m just going to go for it. Think I’ll get the sad news out of the way first: The End of an Era After just shy of 5…
Another November is coming to an end, and Thanksgiving is almost here! I’m excited to share first and foremost that with the help of my friends, largely thanks to the Music Threads community (follow me @jordancoley), we raised another $602 for World Central Kitchen. That means that since I started raising money to help feed…
Happy November! I can’t believe this year’s already almost over. It’s been a wild ride of incredible new things for me, including a cross-country move to California, the release of two new songs, and my first festival booking. I also felt moved to have a separate fundraiser for World Central Kitchen on my birthday this…
Tomorrow is my birthday. In lieu of gifts, I ask that you please help me raise funds again for World Central Kitchen. Let’s raise $1,000+ by July 31st!

A week ago, the world was horrified at an attack on Israel by Hamas. In a region already plagued by senseless violence and controversy, this comes as another heartbreak to the world stage. My prayers go out to both the families of those who lost their lives in the attack, and also to the families…
I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who made donations during the fundraiser. I’m so excited to be able to make a small impact in helping people in need this holiday season. If you’re not sure what this blog post is about, here’s the previous one talking about what I wanted to…
Thanksgiving is around the corner, and so is my first release for my solo project in 5 years. I can’t believe it’s already been that long since I’ve released anything in the solo project world. Time really flies. But back to Thanksgiving. “Giving” is an important operating word for this holiday we celebrate here every…
Today is Juneteenth, a day where black Americans like me celebrate the day that all slaves were freed in America. We celebrate June 19, 1865, the day the news that all black people were free finally reached Galveston, Texas, more than two years after Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. Today, we celebrate,…
