look out, heart (EP Fundraiser Concert version)

This was the last song in our set at my EP Fundraiser Concert. So fun! Especially because everyone had a chance to do a little solo work at the end. I’m so thankful for these beautiful people I got to play with, and for the many beautiful people that came out to...
