I was asked to make a motivational video for students at a local arts school, but maybe you need it today?

Tomorrow night Mark Wheat and I are gonna have a proper chat about some heavy stuff: music, art, masculinity, faith. I'll be debuting a few new tunes as well. Free.

Next week I'll be joining The Current's Mark Wheat at TownTalks for (snacks and) a conversation about music, inspiration and community. Free and open to the public.

Join me, Low, Cloud Cult, Doomtree, Atmosphere and more great MN artists at Wild Waters to Save the Boundary Waters in Duluth on Aug. 16. Tickets still available: https://www1.ticketmaster.com/event/060056C4BF53768C #SavetheBWCA #WildWaters #Minnesota"

Lazerbeak

Red Wing really rolled out the welcome mat--the residents at the senior center made a blankie. Back at it for artist residency day 2. Still a few tickets for Saturday at the Sheldon. https://www.sheldontheatre.org/events/

Tuesdays with Lazerbeak podcast is your usual conversational fare: discounted scented candles, onstage pranks, and the time Tori Amos wrote me a song. Episode 5 available now wherever pods get cast.

Happy Star Wars day!

You know what they say about early birds and their sense of thrift. Be like a bird.

Hi friends, I thought I might take a break from recording my next album to share a powerful new instrument I’ve developed: a tool to help you go wherever your musical journey takes you. As an artist, it can take years to find your own voice. So why not use mine? The JM Signature Vocal Pack 9000 is a sample library and vocal synthesizer. My voice at your fingertips. This velocity-sensitive, high quality vocal library was recorded with real microphones in a room that closely resembles a recording studio. You’ll marvel at how lush these samples sound. Some of the many samples include: The Millennial Whoop “The Lick” ASMR Bonus Pack Indie Music Shouts: Hey! Ho! Ha! Huh! AND MORE... You can download the JM Signature Vocal Pack 9000 for free right here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ohgz8q18u2s563n/JM%20SIGNATURE%20VOCAL%20PACK%209000.zip?dl=0 You’ll need Ableton Live 10 to use the full vocal synth, but you can still have a whale of a time with the rest of the samples. Just sprinkle them liberally on any track for instant results. Tag your stories and tracks with the simple and easy to use hashtag #JMSignatureVocalPack9000.

The Current

Late Stage Capitalism reached the one-year notch on the ol' height chart this weekend and I'm a proud dad.

If you live in Grand Rapids, MN you can borrow a ukulele from the library (thanks Minnesota State Arts Board). If you live anywhere you can download my ukulele songbook for free on my website.

Happy Valentine's Day! I'd been wanting to try my hand at filmmaking for years and finally decided to give it a whirl. We shot this in a day with my phone and I spent a weekend editing. I learned just enough to realize all the mistakes I made! I might just have to try a few more little films this year. Thanks for all the lovely comments and to Har Mar Superstar for being a real treat on the set. All a first time director could ask for!

New song, new video (starring Har Mar Superstar) just in time for Valentine's Day. Watch now, celebrate later with your #1, you. http://vevo.ly/1Ndv7e

It's that time of year. Tune in to the Grammy's this Sunday via my twitter feed @jmessersmith. Black tie optional.

Packing my woolens and heading up to Lutsen Mountains for a free show at Papa Charlies (not his real name) on Monday next!
