What's the thing that sets off the holiday season more than anything else?  Lights might be it. @kevineheidermusic put together this lovely little light show together for us a few years back. 💡 #letthelightin #merlotembargo #singersongwriter #indiemusic #lyricvideo #holidaymusic

Can't hear this song without thinking of Reginald VelJohnson whistling it while going for donuts.  #diehard #yesitsachristmasmoviedealwithit #merlotembargo #christmasmusic #livemusic #carols

We deeply appreciate whatever slice of your life you’ve given us. We love making music, and we’ll do it as long as we can, but the journey is so much richer with your ears and your hearts. Thanks for coming along as we chase our dream. . Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁🦃🍽

We're a couple of weeks late to this memorial, but rest in peace @LiamPayne.  We love a good shuffle; thanks for your part in bringing us this one.  ❤️ . #onedirection #liampayne #coversong #acousticmusic #indiemusic

You know you've written a good one when it feels like it's been around for 40 years. Well done @stephensanchezofficial . #untilimetyou #merlotembargo #livemusic #singersongwriter #indiemusic #cover

🌊🎶 Ever seen a lyric video come to life through an oscilloscope? Neither had we… until now. 🎤✨ Weird, but cool? 📼🌿💥  . #merlotembargo  #reggaerockvibes #90snostalgia #waveformwonders #newmusicalert #singersongwriter #indiemusic #newmusicnow

We just dropped a music video for our new song, "Alone!" 🛠️✨ We've had this funky old TV in our garage for years, and thought it might be cool to use it in a vid. So here we go! 🤷‍♀️🖥️⚙️ . #alone #newmusic #merlotembargo #indiemusic #newmusicalert #singersongwriter #indieband

You'll be forgiven if you didn't realize we had a blog; we've written a grand total of two entries. Been feeling sappy this weekend, and wrote this the other day:  merlotembargo.com/post/we-starte…

It's out! It's called "Alone", and unlike this BTS video, it doesn't sound like a bunch of chipmunks. Link's in the bio, or search for our latest in the music places.  .  #newmusicalert #merlotembargo #linkinbio #singersongwriter #indiemusic #reggae #newmusicfriday #indieband

You've heard of "four hand piano," but did you know about "three hand moog??" BTS recording synth parts for our upcoming song, "Alone." . #moog #singersongwriter #merlotembargo #newmusicalert #indiemusic #moogone

much excitement - we're on babywatch, with 👶 arriving soon. We've got a new song out September 27th! We're very excited for y'all to hear it.  Here's a little snippet of us in our living room. #acousticmusic #singersongwriter #thepolice #newmusicalert #merlotembargo #indiemusic

This mama is DONE with shows for a bit.  Baby isn't here yet, but he's making his presence very known.  Even the stool isn't enough to relieve these poor feet. . Here's a bit of "Crazy Love" from a party a couple of weeks back. . #birthdayparty #acousticmusic #singersongwriter

Our office for the evening. This better be the last gig before this baby arrives; my feet are killing me 😂😭 #acousticgig #merlotembargo #indieband #singersongwriter #35weeks

A fun quirk of this patchwork ADHD musical life is that when you have bursts of energy and make a bunch of stuff, sometimes you just completely forget about it afterward. This vid is < 1 year ago, but new to the internet.   #lyricvideo #kindanewmusic #singersongwriter #indiemusic

On top of being pregnant and getting ready for this bebe, keeping up with social media has fallen off our radar.  We'll be back at it, like when we have some new music next month, hint 😉. Algorithm, enjoy an old picture of the two of us. circa 2010/2011?

TBH getting the whole band together at once isn’t as frequent as you might think. We all got our own side hustles and jobs and babies and whatever. We're especially grateful when it does happen. 🙏🏻❤️

eternally grateful to @jonbonham for turning us on to this gem. . #chvrches #merlotembargo #miracle #acousticmusic #singersongwriter

Happy day at work, monarchists. #youllbeback #kinggeorge #hamilton #linmanuelmiranda #merlotembargo

If you've had a sec to listen to our song, "All Wrong," you've heard this weird old guitar. @gdgross demonstrates it here.  . #rubberbridge #merlotembargo #stellaguitar #singersongwriter #indiefolk
