A prayer to not procrastinate my life away, to do the work I’m here to do. (Written with a generous assist from @emilykfalvey , 🎥: @jabegacobs .) It’s also up on my @youtubemusic channel. Lots more songs there. Feel free to subscribe if the spirit moves you. JR

Awhile back I got to meet Sam Beam (a.k.a. Iron & Wine), a songwriter I’ve admired for so long. We got to chat a bit after a screening of “Who Can See Forever,” a lovely film about his work. Keep an eye out for it. There’s so much good stuff in it about the beautiful grind of making a life making things. @ironandwinetour

I got married! Two weeks ago. In a *light* blizzard. It was an incredible overwhelming snowy bliss-filled weekend. So grateful to so many people I love for making the trip to @thesistersofcedarlakes to be with us. To @forgedinthenorth for the extraordinary pictures. To @samspector for the extraordinary suits. But most of all to Jordana. I can’t believe my great good fortune that I get to call this extraordinary woman my wife.

When I was in grad school at NYU I would often stroll by @publictheaterny and dream of working there one day. That day has arrived and I couldn’t be happier about it. So honored to be in this fiercely intelligent and anguished piece by Itamar Moses alongside this glorious company (and led by the incredible Lila Neugebauer.) Rehearsals have started and I’m loving every minute of it. Please come check it out if you’re gonna be in NYC while we’re running.

@joshradnor_makerofthings dropped a recent pic of me in Nashville into a season one HIMYM pic and it really amused me. I remember feeling not at all comfortable at that red lip couch photo shoot all those years ago. What a difference eighteen years makes.

Enthroned at @officialgibsongarage in Nashville. Thanks to Jordan Fang & Co. for the great tour and the great time (And the terrific J45 they loaned me for my Eulogy Tour) So fascinating to learn more about how these wizards turn trees into musical instruments. My love for Nashville is as strong as ever. @j_carly

Enormous thanks to @amandapetrusich - with whom I recently spent a life-affirming afternoon at Green-Wood Cemetery - for the wide-ranging conversation and her lovely words about Eulogy: Volume 1 (and the shout out to Nelson The Dog!) Amanda writes about music with a sincerity and keen insight that I’ve always found invigorating so it was a real thrill to be able to talk with her about my own music and so much more. Link in stories. @newyorkermag @historicgreenwood

“Radnor has been making music for a decade, but when the pandemic hit he found himself getting "backlogged" with music. "Like a lot of people, I was frozen in place, but I had a couple guitars lying around, and my songwriting really exploded," he tells @entertainmentweekly . "That's when I wrote 'Red' and a bunch of the songs on Eulogy." But it wasn't until he went through a tough breakup around Thanksgiving 2021 that the upcoming album really took shape. "I couldn't be at my house in L.A. so I found myself in this weird period of exile," he says. "I was hunkering down with my dog, Nelson, in Columbus, Ohio, where I'm from. I was staying in my childhood home and reconnecting with old friends, but I was really just rocked. The breakup was very sudden, and I was angry." When his songwriter friend Kyle Cox invited him to Nashville to make some music, Radnor knew the opportunity was what he needed to get out of his funk. While in Nashville, he also connected with musicians Jeremiah Dunlap and Cory Quintard, and the foursome began working in earnest on what they wanted to be a classic Americana folk album. "I rented an Airbnb and drove my dad's car with Nelson to Nashville, and then from mid-February to mid-March of 2022, we recorded 24 songs, and 23 ended up on the record," Radnor says. "It was such a hard moment, but out of that hard moment, it turned out to be this really healing, wonderful time." (Links in bio and stories)
