Been a long week since, but man, I am still reeling from the #neighborhood’s time in Texas! We had shows in Houston and Austin, worked with some incredible students, and ate about 20,000 calories each. More photos, videos, and music to come. It was especially rewarding to see and reconnect with so many supportive and inspiring friends, educators, and artists again..thank you for coming out! Special thanks to the venues, the families, and the neighborhood band, @championshogo , @choimpet , and @chrisstompgarriga .

Bringing the #neighborhood to @monksjazz in a couple weeks..Austin, come out and see us! Ticket link in my highlights. Thank you!
