Uproxx

Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. This week we’re finally getting a break from all the ultra-hyped celebrity sneaker drops (unless of course, you consider Michael Jordan and Kawhi Leonard signature sneakers celebrity drops) in exchange for a week of new colorways of trendy silhouettes.

2023’s must-watch sneakers include the Nike Vomero 5 and Adidas Samba, both of which get brand new colorways, while older classics like the Jordan 5, Jordan 11, and Nike Cortez get some refreshes. Off-White also makes a return with a new bright and loud Varsity Maize colorway of the AF-1 mid-rise, one of the last designs to come from the late Virgil Abloh.

We may not have any music-related sneaker drops this week, but we’re dealing with yet another great week of sneakers as this year inches closer to its final chapter. Let’s dive in!

Nike Women’s Vomero 5 Pink Oxford and Plum Eclipse

SNX
Nike

Price: $180

The Vomero is one of Nike’s most popular silhouettes right now so naturally anytime the brand decides to drop new colorways, said drop is going to come with a lot of hype. This week Nike will be giving us two new size-exclusive colorways, first up is the Women’s sized Pink Oxford and Plum Eclipse.

The sneaker features an upper constructed from textile and leather with plastic accents and a rich plum and pink colorway.

The Nike Women’s Vomero 5 Pink Oxford and Plum Eclipse is out now for a retail price of $180. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

Price: $159.99

Kawhi Leonard’s signature New Balance is getting a new colorway this week. The sneaker features a mix of Optic White, black, and cobalt with a speckled midsole. The Kawhi is equipped with a full-length Energy Arc midsole which is designed to give energy return that New Balance describes as “propulsive,” while the upper, with its mix of knit construction, keeps the sneaker light on your feet.

It’s a sneaker designed for performance-enhancing play, so if you’re looking for something functional that still looks great, consider giving the Kawhi a try.

Nike Women’s Cortez Black and Sail

Price: $110

Right now Nike isn’t showing the LA classic Cortez a lot of love in its regular roster, so anytime a new colorway drops it gets our attention. This week the new Cortez gets an all-leather build with a black and sail colorway with a spongey midsole in women’s exclusive sizing.

Bring the Cortez back Nike, we’re ready!

The Nike Women’s Cortez Black and Sail is out now for a retail price of $110. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid White and Varsity Maize

SNX
Nike

Price: $205

Every time there is a new Off-White Nike collaboration it comes across as a bittersweet reminder that Virgil Abloh was taken too soon — even when the new sneaker is bright, sunny, and joyful like this White and Varsity Maize take on the Air Force 1 Mid.

Featuring a spikey traction outsole with Flywire cables across the leather upper, grim reaper embroidered details, and that iconic Off-White branding, the Off-White AF-1 Mid is a reminder that there isn’t a single personality in the sneaker space right now that is as willing to radically transform a classic sneaker the way Abloh was.

The Off-White x Nike Air Force 1 Mid White and Varsity Maize is set to drop on November 9th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $205. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Nike Air Jordan 5 Navy

Price: $210

Jordan fans are in for a treat this week with the retro re-release of the Air Jordan 5 Navy. The sneaker features a suede and canvas upper dipped in Midnight Navy and Football Grey colors atop an icy translucent outsole with a speckled shark tooth on the midsole.

It’s very cool-toned, which isn’t in harmony with the season, but who cares? I mean just look at this thing, it’s a work of art!

The Nike Air Jordan 5 Navy is set to drop on November 10th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $210. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Light Bone and Phantom

SNX
Nike

Price: $160

If you’re looking at this week’s Vomero 5 Pink Oxford and Plum Eclipse drop with envy, keep looking, because although it’s great that Nike is also dropping a new colorway of the Vomero 5 for those cursed with big feet, it’s admittedly not as cool.

Unless you like lighter tones, than there is a lot to love here! The colorway mixes Light Bone colors with Phantom olive accents with a mixed leather, textile, and plastic upper.

The Nike Zoom Vomero 5 Light Bone and Phantom is set to drop on November 9th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $160. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app.

Price: $225

The Jordan 11 is getting a tasty new colorway this week exclusive to women’s sizing. The Neapolitan combines Velvet Brown, Sail, and Atmosphere (soft pink) colors across a dual leather upper. Sail dominates the base while the patent leather mudguard is adorned in brown with a soft pink sem-translucent outsole rounding out the design.

The Nike Women’s Air Jordan 11 Neapolitan is set to drop on November 11th at 7:00 AM PST for a retail price of $225. Pick up a pair via the Nike SNKRS app or aftermarket sites like GOAT and Flight Club.

Can You See Your Spotify Wrapped From Past Years?

As it gets closer to the end of the year, Spotify users wait to see just exactly what songs and artists will make the top of their annual Spotify Wrapped lists. For those who don’t know, to close out the holiday season, Spotify gives all users a list of their most-played statistics — designed in an entertaining format. Last year also saw some new features, including giving individual users their “Listening Personality Type.”

For new users or those who just might want to see what they enjoyed in years past, here’s what to know about if you can see old Spotify Wrapped editions.

While you won’t exactly be able to see the old Spotify Wrapped pop-up from past years unless you screenshotted it and saved it somewhere, users can see their “Top Songs” playlist for each year, going several years back — but only if you chose to save your Wrapped list as one at the time.

Since Spotify only started doing the annual Wrapped drops in 2016, users won’t be able to see anything before that in terms of data. However, six years (going on seven for 2023) of knowing your favorites is still a special treat, making it fun to look back on the songs you loved.

Right now, Spotify users should see their new ones by next month.

When Will ‘Superman: Legacy’ Come Out?

Superman
DC Comics

With the SAG-AFTRA strike now over following a tentative agreement with the studios, actors can get back to work after watching their various projects get tossed to the wind. In the aftermath of the strike, fans are no doubt curious about when highly-anticipated shows and movies will be released after experiencing significant delays.

According to a new report from Deadline, the studios are making aggressive moves to get high-profile films back on track. That includes Superman: Legacy which is set to be written and directed by DC Studios chief James Gunn. Fortunately, that film seems to have flown above the fray. Filming is set to begin in March 2024, which will keep the first installment in the newly revamped DC Universe on track for a July 11, 2025 release date.

David Corenswet will take over the role of Clark Kent/Superman as Henry Cavill’s version of the character vanishes with the rest of the DCEU (a.k.a. the SnyderVerse) that will officially conclude with this December’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. However, one actor from that film might be surviving the transition.

According to Variety, Jason Momoa is in talks to tackle a new character in Gunn’s new DC Universe: The anti-hero and intergalactic bounty hunter Lobo. Momoa could make his debut as the raucous character in Gunn’s Superman film, which will introduce a stacked slate of DC characters including Metamorpho (Anthony Carrigan), Hawkgirl (Isabel Merced), Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi) and Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion).

Superman: Legacy flies into theaters on July 11, 2025.

When Does Dreamville Festival’s 2024 Lineup Come Out?

j cole rolling loud

Somehow, we’ve already reached the portion of the year when we’re either recapping what happened or beginning to look forward to what is penciled in for the new year. Festivals, such as Bonnaroo and Welcome To Rockville, are slowly leaking out details about their 2024 events. Go ahead and lump Dreamville Festival into that group. On October 23, Dreamville Festival confirmed it will return to Raleigh, North Carolina on April 6 and 7, 2024. Below is everything else we know (so far) about what J. Cole, Ibrahim “Ib” Hamad, and the Dreamville crew have in store for 2024.

When Does Dreamville Festival’s 2024 Lineup Come Out?

The best we can do at the time of this writing is hypothesize based on Dreamville announcing its 2023 lineup in late February. It feels safe to assume that the 2024 lineup will arrive around the same time, considering the 2022 lineup’s unveiling happened in early March. The 2023 headliners were J. Cole, Drake, Burna Boy, and Usher.

When Do Dreamville Festival 2024 Tickets Go On Sale?

Well, the presale “for newsletter subscribers” has come and gone, but the public on-sale is scheduled for Friday, November 10, at 10 a.m. EST. More information can be found here, where other presale codes and instructions are still available.

How Much Are Dreamville Festival 2024 Tickets?

As of this writing, the Dreamville Fest official website does not disclose ticket prices. It feels like it’s worth noting that GA+, JV, Varsity, and MVP ticket packages are listed with prompts to “join the waitlist,” while General Admission does not have that designation. There are also hotel options available to book here.

The 2023 ticket prices ranged from $249 (to start) for general admission to $1,499 MVP VIP packages.

Dreamville Festival 2024 will take place on April 6 and 7, 2024, in Raleigh, North Carolina. Find more information here.

Burna Boy is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Husband gets hilariously upset after finding out his wife ate Mexican food without him

Some relationship “betrayals” hit right to the core. Like Netflix cheating, where one partner secretly watches the next episode of a show they had been watching with their significant other.

Or perhaps even worse—when one partner eats delicious food without telling their spouse.

This was apparently the sin committed by wife Shelby to her husband Dylan, a married content creator duo better known online as Shelb and Dyl.

And Dylan’s melodramatic reaction to the devastating news that she ate at his favorite Mexican food restaurant—without him— is pure relatable comedy.


“I have a confession,” Shelby sheepishly says in the viral clip. Though wary, Dylan still retorts with, “whatever it is, I love you.”

“…I don’t know if you’ll forgive me after I tell you what I did,” Shelby continues. That’s when Dylan’s eyes go wide,

“How bad could it be?” he asks, growing more concerned.

That’s when Shelby makes her confession that she ate her husband’s favorite cuisine in secret.

First, as with most cases of grief, comes denial..

“No you didn’t” Dylan says, in utter shock and disbelief.

Then come the other stages. Anger (“my belly could be full of Mexican right now!”), bargaining (“I realize I can be a little stingy with our money but MEixnac’s my favorite and you know that”) depression (wailing “aaaaah!” with his head in his hands). And finally…acceptance.

Watch the drama unfold below. If anything, just to hear Dylan say “you’re hurtin’ my heart” in a thick southern accent.

@shelbanddyl He was a little upset 😅 #husbandreacts #couple #mexicanfood #husbandwife #fyp ♬ original sound – Shelby & Dylan

But at least with all the pain she caused, Shelby was kind enough to bring him leftovers. Sadly, that might not be enough to repair the relationship. For when she asks if Dylan can forgive her, he soberly replies “I don’t know if I can.”

Most viewers couldn’t help but empathize with Dylan a bit, saying they would feel the same way if their partner committed such a heinous act.

Despite this little bump in the road, Shelby and Dylan seem to have a pretty wholesome relationship, with plenty of videos showing how much fun they have with one another and making each other laugh.

So it feels safe to say that Dylan will, in fact, be able to forgive…though he may never forget.

Is Frank Ocean Dropping A New Album Soon?

frank ocean
Getty Image

It has been a while since fans heard from the elusive Frank Ocean, but after he recently broke radio silence, some fans might be wondering if he’s planning on releasing a new album soon.

Is Frank Ocean Recording New Music?

He must be. On Wednesday night (November 8), he posted an Instagram Story that appeared to contain a snippet of a new song — the first unheard music he’s shared with fans since December 2021, when he played a nine-minute song on his Apple Music show, Blonded Radio. This could be the first indication that more is in store, hyping up some fans for the possibility of a follow-up to 2016’s Blonde. So…

Does Frank Ocean Have An Album On The Way?

Back in April, Frank gave fans the most recent update on a potential album, which is that it exists — but not really(?). During his… “controversial” Coachella set, Frank said, “I want to talk about why I’m here because it’s not because of a new album. It’s because… not that there’s not a new album, just like… but there’s not right now.” Which clears everything right up. If there is, in fact, a new album coming, though, Frank will have plenty to address on it.

What Is Frank Ocean’s New Album About?

To be honest, there’s no telling, but with everything that has happened in the last seven years since Blonde, there’s no shortage of inspiration. We’ve had a global pandemic, an attempted insurrection, the rise and fall of crypto, and the emergence of AI. Black folks reclaimed dance music again, and we all know he has a vested interest in the ball culture that Beyoncé mined so expertly on Renaissance. Frank has also experienced personal turmoil; during Coachella, he talked about the 2020 death of his brother Ryan in a car crash, something that could have affected his music plans.

When Can We Expect A Release Date For Frank Ocean’s New Album?

Whenever Frank feels like revealing one. For what it’s worth, he’s never been fond of the traditional structures of the music industry, releasing Blonde literally a day after the visual album Endless without so much as a cryptic social media post to promote it.

Will Frank Ocean’s New Album Have Features?

Again, there’s little concrete information to go on here. However, judging by Frank’s past output and vast music industry connections, just about anyone from Beyoncé to Tyler The Creator could appear on a future project. While Endless and Blonde were both mostly solo affairs, his debut album Channel Orange contained features from André 3000, Earl Sweatshirt, and John Mayer. As a songwriter, he’s worked with Brandy, John Legend, Justin Bieber, and more, so he could easily call in a few favors.

Bhad Bhabie Somehow Raked In $38 Million From ‘Married’ Men After Joining OnlyFans On Her 18th Birthday

bhad bhabie onlyfans

Danielle Bregoli, or, as most might know her under the stage name, Bhad Bhabie, rose to viral notability after fighting with her mother as a teenager on Dr. Phil. Her catchphrase about telling haters to “catch her outside” led to her trying to craft a music career. (David Spade even appeared in one of her videos.)

Back in 2021, Bhad Bhabie turned 18 — and decided to celebrate by joining OnlyFans just a few days after her birthday (as one does). As it turns out, slightly weird men were waiting, and she profited immensely from their creepy energies. She now revealed in an Instagram story just how much she earned in the months following, with her earnings between April 2021 and November 2021 being around $38 million before taxes.

During an interview last year for Sundae Conversation With Caleb Pressley, Bhad Bhabie was also asked about who she thinks her subscribers are and if they should “be in jail.” (She answered the question with a simple “Yeah.”)

“I feel like they’re 20 to 40 years old, probably like a white man who’s married with like six kids — definitely has a daughter my age,” she continued, making it somehow even creepier if they do. While it’s unclear how much she still earns, she does charge $23.99 per subscription, according to Complex.

When Does The Bonnaroo 2024 Lineup Come Out?

Bonnaroo 2023
Paul L. Carter

This year, Bonnaroo Music And Arts Festival staged Foo Fighters, Kendrick Lamar, and Odesza as headliners in Manchester, Tennessee, and the annual festival will return to The Farm from June 13 to June 16, 2024. On Thursday morning, November 9, Bonnaroo confirmed its presale will begin on Thursday, November 16, at 10 a.m. CST, and future attendees can sign up for the presale here. The natural follow-up question is, what artists are festival-goers signing up to see perform? Below is all of the information we have (so far) about Bonnaroo 2024.

When Does The Bonnaroo 2024 Lineup Come Out?

As of this writing, Bonnaroo’s organizers have not announced any lineup news. But for reference, the Bonnaroo Music And Arts Festival 2023 lineup was revealed on January 10, 2023, so keep your eyes peeled at the top of the new year.

How Much Are Bonnaroo 2024 Tickets?

Tickets to the 2023 festival ranged from $299 to $1,250 (as noted by Consequence at the time), but there is an increase for the 2024 tickets slate. As per the festival’s website, 4-Day General Admission tickets start at $355, 4-Day GA+ tickets start at $695, 4-Day VIP tickets start at $900, and 4-Day Platinum tickets start at $4,155. The good news? No hidden fees. On Wednesday, November 8, Bonnaroo explained the price hike. Read the festival’s full statement below:

“Bonnaroo is incredibly important to each and every one of us who works to make it happen each year, and we know how special this experience is to you. We are proud of this community that we have built together. In the spirit of the Roo community and communication, we wanted to give you a heads up as we prepare for the annual presale.

Ticket prices are going to look different this year, and here’s why:

When you purchase your presale tickets, you’ll see a new price that includes all fees upfront — the only additions at checkout will be your chosen shipping option and your locally applicable sales tax.

For the first time in more than a decade, we’re also making a notable base price increase. This increase will still be far less than inflation over that time. The cost of producing this magical world has increased and our goal is to be as transparent with you as possible. To continue to deliver the quality experience you have to come to love and appreciate, prices need to go up just slightly.

The Farm is truly the most magical place on Earth and 2024 is going to be an incredible year. We can’t wait to see you next summer!”

Where Can I Buy Tickets?

All of the answers reside on Bonnaroo’s official website. There, you’ll find a prompt to sign up for texts (for US carries only) or emails regarding the November 16 presale. Additionally, there is the option get ahead and book your hotel here.

The Keith Lee Food Review Vs. Atlanta Restaurant Controversy, Explained

Keith Lee Atlanta
Uproxx/Getty

What do you get when you combine one of the most beloved food reviewers on TikTok, Keith Lee, with a burgeoning restaurant scene that is famous for its fresh takes on southern food made by talented young chefs? Chaos apparently. Things got a little wild after Keith Lee rolled through ATL, Georgia, and had a less-than-stellar experience at a number of restaurants. Lee has made a career out of reviewing food spots primarily in Las Vegas, where he’s based, but since he continues to grow a following (currently he has nearly 15 million followers on TikTok) he’s started to branch out to other cities including New Orleans, Detroit, Chicago, and New York.

Generally, Keith Lee coming to your city is good for business — once Lee runs through and highlights a restaurant, his fans follow, resulting in an explosion of business. But after a few negative experiences at Atlanta hotspots like the Atlanta Breakfast Club and The Real Milk and Honey, the city of Atlanta, Lee’s fans, Lee himself, and random people across the internet are up in arms about Atlanta’s dining culture.

Here is what happened.

What Happened When Keith Lee Visited Atlanta?

As is typical of Lee, he talked about each establishment he visited exuding good vibes — even when he wasn’t a fan of the customer service. Lee’s journey through Atlanta began at the Atlanta Breakfast Club, where the reviewer was first introduced to the “unique” rules of the Atlanta dining scene.

@keith_lee125

♬ original sound – Keith Lee

“The customer service was interesting,” begins Lee, “while the people were nice the rules that they had set were very unique to me.” Those rules included needing the entire party to be sitting (two people from Lee’s party had stepped out) before any orders could be placed, including receiving water, and only one single order for the whole table could be placed at one time, meaning if the party decided at a later time to add anything additional it literally couldn’t be done.

Lee was also charged $1 for butter, which got many in the comments talking.

“I understand that those are their rules. Unique to me, but it is what it is,” says Lee.

For the most part, Lee’s review of the Atlanta Breakfast Club leans positive and at that point, he seemed genuinely excited to explore what else Atlanta had to offer. By the time Lee had visited another Atlanta hotspot, The Real Milk & Honey, the real drama started to develop.

@keith_lee125

The Real Milk & Honey taste test 💕 would you try it ? 💕 #foodcritic

♬ original sound – Keith Lee

To keep himself anonymous, Lee sometimes sends his family to a restaurant to pick up an order for him, but at The Real Milk & Honey, his family was turned away at the door by the restaurant citing “deep cleaning” as a reason for closing early, despite several diners still being inside and picking up food.

After Lee himself walked in, The Real Milk & Honey recognized him and offered to feed him and his family, to which Lee “respectfully declined.”

“I’m a normal person. I pay for my food like everybody else, I walk in spots like everybody else. We are all normal people. Respectfully if you not going to do it then, don’t do it now, god bless you,” says Lee in his review.

As you might imagine, this led to a flood of negative reviews on The Real Milk & Honey’s Yelp page, presumably from Lee fans who took it upon themselves to criticize the restaurant they had never been to. To be fair, this wasn’t Lee’s intention, and in the video itself, he states:

I am going to make this very clear… I do no support, condone, or agree with tearing down these businesses. While we personally may not have the best customer service experience, that does not mean you will have the same experience. That also does not mean go on Twitter and tear these businesses down… The only reason I’m even making this is to share my authentic and real experience like I always do, I don’t mean no harm, I don’t have no malicious intent, but I always say I’m going to be 100% honest and that comes with the good and the not so good.

Later, Lee attempted to eat at Kandi Burruss’ Old Lady Gang restaurant.

@keith_lee125

Old Lady Gang taste test 💕 would you try it 💕 #foodcritic

♬ original sound – Keith Lee

Again, Lee sent his family in to order food only for them to be told the wait time would be over an hour. A few minutes later when Lee entered the restaurant, he was greeted and told they could sit him in five minutes. Once again, Lee respectfully declined. This once again led to a flood of negative reviews.

Eventually, all this negativity came back around to Lee and his family, who began receiving death threats in response to the bad press some of these Atlanta restaurants were receiving, with some accusing Lee of trying to tear down businesses. This led to a response video from Lee:

“Me and my family will postpone touring in other cities if it’s going to be like this. Every review not going to be the best, I’m going to be 100% honest. If you want me to come, please understand I will be honest,” says Lee, noting that the positive experiences he had in Atlanta were greatly overshadowed by all the negativity.

One of the voices accusing Lee of bringing negativity to Atlanta came from former wide receiver Chad Johnson, aka Chad OchoCinco, on his popular sports podcast “Nightcap with Unc & Ocho.”

In a debate over Lee’s visit with Shannon Sharpe, Ocho remarked “I don’t like the fact of what he’s doing… you know how hard it is for us to even get in the food industry and to have our own restaurants? … It’s hard enough for us as it is.” And remarked that he himself had never experienced bad service in Atlanta.

This led to a detailed response video from Lee, where the reviewer defended his brand.

“You said I should only give positive reviews. The reason I don’t believe that will work is because it would be inauthentic… If I was to be inauthentic and you waited in a three-hour wait time and you got to the front and the food was trash, who were you gonna be mad at?” Concluding with “This is my last time speaking on anything that has to do with Atlanta. I want to get back to the fun, get back to eating, get back to touring, get back to going to good restaurants.”

What This Means For The Atlanta Dining Scene

Lee’s experience had many people pointing to the faults of the Atlanta food scene. From regular diners:

To celebrities like Cardi B, who took to her Instagram Live to talk about the event:

“I feel like Atlanta restaurants, they don’t like to make money… I feel bad for Atlanta residents. Thank you, Jesus, I’m famous, but even me being famous, it’s like a hassle.”

Still, Lee’s presence in Atlanta has some restaurants rethinking the way they do business, with The Real Milk & Honey posting an update to their rules on their personal Instagram account.

While it seems like Lee’s presence in Atlanta was unfortunately negative for everyone involved, it’ll be interesting to see if things in the Atlanta dining scene change.

Indie Mixtape 20: Daneshevskaya Stays Curious On Her Latest EP ‘Long Is The Tunnel’

Daneshevskaya
Photo by Madeline Leshner

Daneshevskaya, the project of songwriter Anna Beckerman, writes music that feels like a comforting hug. Much of her songs pay homage to her family, so it’s understandable why her music can be soft and soothing. While writing her latest project, Long Is The Tunnel (which is out Friday on Winspear), Beckerman found herself revisiting letters from her grandmother, who sadly passed away before she could finish the writing process.

Like her, Berckerman’s grandmother was a poet and worked with children, which is why the songs on her 7-track project are infused with childlike curiosity. Offerings like “Somewhere In The Middle” and “Roy G Biv” provide confessional snapshots and wistful instrumentals that fit in nicely with Beckerman’s equally dreamy vocals.

Ahead of the release of Long Is The Tunnel, Daneshevskaya sits down with Uproxx to talk Frank Ocean, working with pre-schoolers, and staying curious in our latest Q&A.

What are four words you would use to describe your music?

Curious, close, imaginative, old.

It’s 2050 and the world hasn’t ended and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?

Honest/genuine.

Who’s the person who has most inspired your work?

My family.

Where did you eat the best meal of your life and what was it?

Hunters stew in Poland.

Tell us about the best concert you’ve ever attended.

I went to a JUSTICE show when I was in high school.

What song never fails to make you emotional?

“Solo” by Frank Ocean.

What’s the last thing you Googled?

When is Hanukkah 2023?

Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever crashed while on tour?

I’ve only ever been on tour once but I would say the weirdest place we crashed was a comfort inn and suites in Whitby, Canada. There were so many barefoot children.

What’s your favorite city in the world to perform and what’s the city you hope to perform in for the first time?

I would love to go to Europe one day! We really liked Lawrence, Kansas.

What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?

Spend more time with your grandparents.

What’s one of your hidden talents?

I can memorize limericks pretty easily.

If you had a million dollars to donate to charity, what cause would you support and why?

District 75 programs. I work with a lot of pre-school aged children who go on to D75 programs in NYC. I would love to know that they will be able to get their needs met as they get older.

What are your thoughts about AI and the future of music?

I’m curious. I try not to be scared of things I don’t understand. If it takes my place I think that’s ok.

You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you.

Elliott Smith, Billie Holiday, Nick Drake, Patsy Cline, Elizabeth Cotten.

Who’s your favorite person to follow on social media?

@Sagestudioatx on Instagram.

What’s the story behind your first or favorite tattoo?

My best friend’s initials.

What is your pre-show ritual?

Push-ups.

Who was your first celebrity crush?

Moses from Prince of Egypt.

You have a month off and the resources to take a dream vacation. Where are you going and who is coming with you?

Would go with my brothers somewhere! I think anywhere would be fun with them.

What is your biggest fear?

Being inside of a building when it collapses.

Long Is The Tunnel is out 11/10 via Winspear. Find more information here.
