Opener for AJR.
This opportunity still feels surreal. I was on a quick downtown run when I got a call asking if I could open for AJR at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, IA, with only 2 hours to prepare. Huge thanks to AJR, Live Nation, and everyone in Des Moines for the overwhelming support during my set. Here’s the video from that night, where I performed my original song, “Moody.” It’s now available on all streaming platforms: https://ffm.to/moodyah
