Howdy from Cotopaxi!
Added 2023-05-24 18:39:42 +0000 UTCMy Dear Friends!
I'm back at the beautiful Flynn Family Ranch for a little RnR/ writing retreat. This is one of my favorite places on the planet, so I wanted to take you on a little picture tour and send you an update!
This is where most of the Lady Moon album was recorded, and it seems like a fitting conclusion to come back here and start contemplating a new record :)
I'll be here for the next week going through over 4,000 voice memos from the last few years. These memos are what I use to capture evolving song ideas.
Case and I are getting a fair amount of hiking in, and I'm really enjoying setting up my writing station in the great outdoors with song birds and stunning views for inspiration.
A big part of my writing process is actually walking away from my instrument for a bit and working with my hands, thus activating my subconscious mind. My hands on project for this trip is building a fairy house out of willow branches for the wee cousins and nieces :) I'm pretty happy with the progress so far!
I miss you all, and I can't wait for our next Patron concert! The internet is a bit spotty up here, so we may have to wait till I return to Loveland.
In the meantime, I send you my love and these little snapshots from life in Cotopaxi :)
Love,
Eva

2023-06-05 19:10:50 +0000 UTCThank you so much, Kristen! It's been a while since I've just sat in the quiet and taken in beauty. It definitely clears the air for creating new things :)

2023-06-05 19:09:40 +0000 UTCIt's crazy! The ranch is so remote there's no cell service and they've struggled to get reliable internet down there. It was great to get away... but I confess, I've missed being able to connect with people!
