It's Friday, It's June, and it's finally time for my FIRST EVER PATREON FUNDED VIDEO! Thank you all who already have joined my Patreon family and showed me that what I do matters. You are the reason to why I suddenly feel like I have a mission again, and I can't wait to keep sharing new song ideas, covers and videos with you. Next month I will show you one of my own new songs, that's called "The Company We Keep".

So why this song? Ever since I first heard this song, it has found a comfortable place in my chest. Every single word seems to mean so much more to me, than just the words. And isn't that the magic with music? That it means so much more than what it might seem like at a first glance.

I really hope you all will like it!

Tons of love and Friday coffee

Two Patreon users in ONE! Wahoo! It's party time. GET YOUR PARTY PANTS ON!!!

Nate Maingard (www.patreon.com/natemaingard) and I met online over a year ago. This week the universe brought us together in the UK to make some videos, duets, shows and vlogging adventures!

We are so very excited to share our first double Patreon creation with all of you amazing humans. Empty by Ray LaMontagne has been a favourite song for both of us for a very long time. Longer than forever if I remember correctly.

So, we filmed this in Nate's beautiful aunties house in London. I also happily shared insights to filmmaking and editing with Nate. He has been filming us the past week and has been posting vlogs on his youtube platform. They are SUPER fun, so if you have a minute, head on over there to check them out.

Thank you so very much for funding our creation. We hope you enjoy it as much as we had fun making it.

Next month we will release our second duet creation, so stay engaged!!

So much hugs and kisses xoxoxo

My friends and I made some music for you.  This is our version of Kina Grannis' cover of Sylvan Esso's "Coffee."

Enjoy!

I wish I could reach every one of you and give you a hug. Thank you so much for your gift to me this month. With your pledge, I was able to take some time away from Paris to spend a week in the UK to hang with Nate Maingard (find him on Patreon btw!).

We got to perform together, and film two beautiful videos (I posted Empty in June). I would like to share this last one with you first, so that you can enjoy it before everyone else!

My visit with nate was so lovely and I can't tell you how appreciative I am of you helping to make it happen! This is a big year for me and I'm so glad you are a part of it!

Leave some comments of your thoughts and please share with those who are important to you!

ALSO, I think it's somewhat of a secret, but Patreon is launching an app very soon and I couldn't be more excited! This is going to be a much easier way for me to connect directly with all of you and have group chats and fun things on a more regular basis.

I am stoked. You should be too!

One last piece of news... I am looking to 'revamp' my Patreon rewards in the next couple of months, as I would like to somehow intertwine them with a new album I am hoping to write this summer.

I will keep you all in the loop, as always.

Allllllll good things. All good days :)

The other side.

 This is a song I wrote a few months ago and not in my usual style but i'm quite proud of this one. Hope you like it. Also please try and keep this one off the internet and youtube etc. This is for you only :)

Much love PWE XXX

For my second Patreon funded video I decided to go back to my roots, and show you a song that I listened to on repeat in my teenage years, while living in Sweden. The song is by a Swedish alternative band called Broder Daniel. I do believe that all the books we read, the songs we listen to, the films we watch and the cities we live in, all shape us into the people we become, and I do believe that all those songs I listened to all those endless nights when I was younger slowly shaped me as a songwriter, singer and person.

I really really hope you all will like it! At least I had the most wonderful time recording it :) Thank you for supporting me to continue this journey <3

I just got back to Oregon after being home on Maui for a couple weeks.  They were full weeks.  My younger brother got married...and Hawaiian weddings are huge celebrations, fun but exhausting if you are family.  A high school friend got married and I got to watch my papa lead the ceremony.  My older sister, dad and friend started their school years with a ton of new students in hot, humid Maui High School classrooms.  We shared meals.  We shared iced coffees.  We shared bbq and conversations at Kamaole Beach Park.  We worshipped God together.  We lead others in worship.  We hosted guests and bid them farewell. We celebrated new covenants and mourned the loss of friends.  It was a FULL trip.  

This was a brief moment in the midst of it all.

I hope you can join in wholeheartedly.

with love,

Beau

Yup. I did it.

I covered a Selena song!

AND I did it back to back with my Elastic Heart cover that I posted earlier this week. 2 covers in one week. KILLIN' IT!

What is happening!?! I guess it's a burst of creative energy, so I'm just rollin' with it! :)

This was a very spontaneous recording... I was working for a local commercial and got my makeup done in the morning. (um?  why am I so lucky? Get to have my makeup done for WORK!)

My work was finished by lunch and I thought - there's no way I'm letting this amazing makeup go to waste!

So I quickly went over some songs in the charts and remembered Good for You, which I thought was hypnotic and awesome. So it stuck with me, and away I went!

I practiced as much as possible until the sun started setting, and a friend of mine here in London was kind enough to allow me to use his beautiful patio.  I had about 568.3 seconds before the sun was going down! I recorded this in speed mode. Really didn't think I was gonna make it!  (That's why it's a tiny bit sloppy and sometimes no so in focus. :/// Sorry about that guys - I was rushed by the beautiful setting sun.)

Annnnnnyway.

I'm really happy with the result.

I opted for no guitar again - just vocal instrumentation, which I am really starting to dig.

Let me know your thoughts on sound, song choice, overall look of the video.

Thank you so much for your pledge in September!  

Allllll my love and hugs to you :)

I guess you could call me a fan of The Staves :)

I'm also jealous that they got to work so closely with Justin Vernon on their recent album :)

Thank you, Nicolas, for continually reminding me to get back to some of their songs...and not be afraid of trying them.

Stay Tuned, Patrons, for more information about our upcoming chat, the singer-songwriter contest I am entering, and live gigs this month.

I SEE you and I appreciate you.

Very much.

with love,

beau
