MX. MOSEPHINE

In 2008, I was given a name. It sprung from a dull inside joke, a simple misunderstanding, a combination of grandmother spirits, of an organist and a flower arranger.  I picked up the guitar to learn a song for a then-beau, and wrote my first of many breakup songs dumped on his doorstep.

​

I found solace and an audience in my sun-saturated hometown in Sarasota FL with a gaggle of like-minded scrappy earnest makers on a big wide porch. Guitars passed around a committee formed by tomfoolery and absurd plans.  We stormed open mic nights as a crew, and helped each other start our bands. 

​

At some point that year, I formed the Equines, released an EP (Hearts on Faces, Finch House Records, 2009). Friends of mine and I then formed Tiny Ensemble so we could all have an excuse to piggyback on a friend's tour in a veg oil school bus, and I developed a still-unsatiated taste for the road.

​

I met and then joined forces with a unicorn cellist in 2011, forming Bard and Mustache, releasing 3 EP’s, and toured the east coast. We evolved into Teach Me Equals and moved into a camper, living and performing on the road from 2013 to 2018.
