I’m writing to you from the beautiful shores of Norway, a glass of Gammel Dansk waiting for me to throw it back, having just left Denmark where Beth and I had an unforgettable time I can’t wait to tell you all about — but those road stories will have to wait, because for now, I have a huge announcement!
Pre-Order, Pre-Save, Pre-Pare Ye!
At that link right there, you can:
Pre-order a sickass neon green record with a beautiful freaky cover by my longtime collaborator-bestie, Jammy Violet (they did my last album, too!)
Pre-save the whole album on streaming platforms, thereby helping me GREATLY
Listen to the first single off the record, “Cutbank of Cleves,” which combines the world’s most expensive medieval manuscript with boxing imagery to ask the age-old question: Where are your silver pieces for the hungry mouth of God?
In the coming months, I’m gonna have a lot more to say about this, my boldest and frankly best work yet. But for now, here’s what I can tell you:
This here is my new medieval-Americana manuscript of an album, and it’s anchored in transitions - because that’s what apocalypses are. A record of survival, solidarity, and the gods’ honest truth, I made this in a changing trans body at the edge of collapse in the heart of a dying empire, and what me and my Hot Dog Choir have made out of all that is unlike anything else. Let’s sing for our supper and reclaim a better world, together.
I’ll be touring in support of this album all year, and in August we’re throwing a big ole Hot Dog Ball release party at The Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis, MN!! Tickets are live now and available for purchase at www.creekbedcarter.com. Grab a ticket and start planning your medieval hot dog-themed costume!

“Cutbank of Cleves” video filmed by Lexi Kiecker at the Ivy Building in Minneapolis, MN with the help of her kickass team. Starring Creekbed Carter as The Jort Jester, Babo of 26 Bats! as The Goblin Thief, Sam Antics as The Pompous Prince, and Umami the Cat as himself.
Alright, friends, that Gammel Dansk isn’t gonna drink itself, so that’s all I’ve got for you for now. If you’re in Norway, Canada, or the West Coast of the USA in the next 4 weeks, head to my website to buy tickets for shows! Otherwise, keep your eyes peeled here for more updates, stories, thoughts on 14th century king-killer ballads, and more!
REVOLT, PEASANTS! <3
