Land Baby wins Album of the Year!
Land Baby had a big night at the 2018 New Mexico Music Awards this year, bringing home two trophies: Album of the Year and Best Package Design! (Photos by Alexandra Rose, Package Design by Lara Manzanares)
I had a blast performing at the music awards with Jono Manson (who also played on, produced, and recorded Land Baby), Noah Martinez, and Rafael Herrera, decked out in some kick-ass jewelry by Gloria Valencia, with my family gathered to share the moment with me. I was honored to meet and share the stage with so many talented artists. The full list of nominees and winners is posted at http://newmexicomusicawards.com. And of course, if you'd like to purchase Land Baby and see where I'll be playing next, just scroll down!
