Don’t let this majestic pose fool you. This guy is a savage beast. I took Toby mountain biking earlier and he found some bear poop. Maybe it was horse poop. I don’t know. He went all in. Full native.
🥴🤢🤮

How do we fix this, you ask?

To start, we do not do nothing.

As much as we want the solution to this tragic problem to be simple and fast, it is not.

As much as we want to be able to point the finger of blame at one person, group or lobby, to do so only makes the root of the problem worse.

It took a lot of time and missteps to bring us to this point and it will take time, effort and resolve to see our way out of it.

Better gun laws are certainly a major component of the solution, but they won’t protect us in the short term. We need to work hard and work locally to address the emotional disconnect and the mental health crisis that exists throughout our nation. I believe that with kindness and compassion, we can affect immeasurable change, especially if we ALL start now.

Gun violence and violence in general is a complex and systemic illness that plagues our country. We have a deep rooted cultural obsession with it.

To rehabilitate ourselves from this disease is not a simple task and it cannot be fixed by attempting to boil it down to a binary solution.

I believe that if we all work diligently to spread kindness and connection through each of our communities (no matter how big or how small), we can actually make progress towards healing ourselves and protecting against future tragedies.

Hope can be hard to see through the lense of tragedy and grief but I think one of the most inspiring capacities of human beings, is the ability to heal, to learn and to grow.

Sending love to you all,

JN

These last two weeks am have been an absolute joy.

I went into this tour feeling really shaken and nervous…weary over the state of the world and apprehensive about crossing the ocean and leaving my family 4000 miles behind while we played these 8 shows. That 18 month stretch of ‘staying home’ turned me into a bit of a homebody.

Any fears that I had were quickly laid to rest on our very first show of the run and any expectations that I could have had for the success and experience of this tour were quickly shattered in the best possible way.

As much as I know, in my mind, how much peril our world is in right now, these past two weeks were a complete relief from all of those thoughts and anxiety.

Every one of these 8 shows was so special and deeply fulfilling in its own way.

We have a new tune called, ‘make this our song’ that appears on our new unreleased record that has the line ‘stuck in our homes, dreaming of a night just like this’ that reflects on all the times during lockdown that we cancelled and rescheduled these shows. Every night that we sang it, those words felt absolutely true.

We owe so much gratitude to all of our Dutch and German friends and family who worked so hard to produce these concerts, fill the seats and make us feel so completely at home while we are so far away from our own.

We love you and appreciate you more than you know.

My only lament is that beautiful nights like these don’t last forever. So - if you catch me with my eyes closed and a smile on my face, I’m just soaking it all up and holding on to that feeling. It’s a beautiful world after all, full of beautiful people.

Thanks for listening.
