.pony let me write a mashup of and and I've never had more fun in my life??!

wide open spaces was the first cd I ever bought, and the chicks are a huge part of the reason I love singing harmonies, so this made all my childhood dreams come true. 🥹

thanks to my bandmates for not only learning this chaotic arrangement, but totally nailing it, and to the crowd at for bringing this incredible energy. ✨💙

Light Sleeper - NPR Tiny Desk Entry 2026
Music & Lyrics by Margaret Wehr

Mornings may break me
Birdsong, my heart
Your cup of coffee
I wake to start

I was ever a late riser
Slow to greet the day
Knowing you'd be up's the only thing
Could make me change my ways
Oh, I wish you'd stay

Sunrise is glowing
Here in my palm
Good morning, how'd you sleep?
First line of your song

I was ever a light sleeper
Center of the bed
But knowing you'd be next to me
It made me want to lay my head
A little to the left

I've seen the lineup
I placed my bet
Five foot and a quarter
Still, you stand above the rest

I was ever such a feeler
Sad song in my chest
You made me a believer
In somebody saying yes
Wish you all the best

Mornings may break me
Birdsong, my heart
Your cup of coffee
I'd still wake to start

I am so thrilled to be heading home in May with these dreamy humans to sing and play as a trio for each of our respective hometowns.

I owe so much to the wonderful musical upbringing I received growing up in Shorewood, Wisconsin, and many of the friends who defined my memorable collegiate choir experience and my musical education made their way to Chicago when we graduated (shoutout to Knox College class of 2010!!) I hope from the bottom of my heart that this tour will bring some of us back together again. 💙

Here's where you can catch me singing harmonies and playing violin with the likes of Jacob Miller and

2012 -> 2022
Ten years of standing near microphones doing the thing I love most. ✨🎤 There is no feeling quite like the resonance of singing in harmony with others, especially dear friends and artists whose work I so admire. 🥰 I have been blessed to perform with 61 amazing bands over the past decade!!! 🤯 wild. Praying that we can get through this nightmare soon and get back to it with less stress and uncertainty and more gratitude. Please stay safe out there dear ones.💙
