For me, this wasn’t just another show; it was the culmination of following two artists whose music found me at the right time. I’ve been listening to both Livingston and Braden Bales since 2023, originally discovering them through TikTok.

The parts we think we’re the only ones feeling. Articulate Excuses is a tight, emotionally fraught collection of eight songs that dig deep, hit hard, and leave a mark.
