The Neighborhood Is Doing Absolutely Everything Right Now
My neighborhood in Southern California is doing the absolute most right now and I am completely here for it. Everything is in full bloom. The kind of bloom that stops you mid-walk and makes you pull out your phone not to scroll but to photograph, because you cannot quite believe something this beautiful exists right outside your door without requiring a ticket. Pink things and white things and that particular yellow that shows up in spring as if it has been waiting all year for its single moment of full expression.
Spring songs 2026 have been accumulating in my notebooks for weeks, shaped by this exact season and everything it is visually and emotionally delivering. The longer days, the warmer evenings that now stay warm all the way through instead of turning cool after dark, the sense that something has been decided and the world has made up its mind about moving forward. All of this finds its way into the music whether I plan for it or not.
What Is the Connection Between Spring and New Music Releases?
Spring tends to push creative work toward completion in a way that winter does not. Things that were being carefully developed through the more interior, inward months of the year tend to find their shape in spring, as if the season is providing momentum that was not available before. The natural world’s forward energy is not just metaphorical for songwriters. It is felt in the actual physical experience of sitting down to write.
I have been writing more new material in recent weeks than I have shared publicly yet, and a lot of it has been directly shaped by this particular spring’s imagery, emotional temperature, and feeling of genuine openness after months of more interior, complex work. Some of these songs are going to be part of what comes later in 2026 and I am already excited about where they are heading.
What’s Coming Up After Spring?
I am going to give you a real preview because you have been showing up here every day and you deserve one. After the spring material, summer is arriving with something I have been working toward for a while. On June 8th, I am releasing ‘Merica, my Americana album. It is the most patriotic, most American, most wide-open-landscape music I have ever made. It is built for summer. It is built for windows down and sky overhead and no particular deadline. More details are coming soon and I will be talking about it regularly as we get closer to June.
For now, enjoy the spring with full attention. Look at your neighborhood like it is actively giving you something. It is. It is giving you songs.
