Xander Tuttle

For those of you who have been checking in on this blog when you can (which means a lot!) you may have noticed a lack of posting on here. I am going to be pausing the blog for now. Having a blog on this website, and the format that it gives me for a blog, makes it difficult to reply to comments and to see new ones. One of the points of this blog is to be able to talk to the Tuttle Dove community, and I feel this website doesn't suit those purposes. I will be launching the blog again in the future, though likely not on xandertuttle.com

But, my “social” medias (@xandertuttlemakesmusic on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook) is the best spot to reach out to me (for now!) 

Again, thank you to those who have been supporting this blog, and I hope to see you in the comments on the next wave of it in the future!

Some people from 88.1 WRFL stopped by to one of my shows recently!! I got this cool photo with all of ‘em. Definitely go listen to that station if you’re in the Lexington, Kentucky area. They've got a plethora of genres on there.

“Along My Shore”

On my solitary beach

You will find that I stand

My fingers in my pockets and my toes in the sands

I await some heart to wash on my shore

Once More

Once More

I see fishing boats and golden ships pass me by

Still, my fingers do not leave my wet pockets

They lie and fiddle with the ring that no heart has yet worn

Once More

Once More

Through Springs

Through Summers

Through Winters and Falls

In heartaches I’d partake

I’d build phonebooths to call any heart I please when hard rains pour

Once More

Once More

On my solitary beach

You will find that I stand

My fingers in my pockets and toes in my sands

The sands of time that blow all around me implore

“Look out to the sea”

“Once More”

“Once More”

May I present, Tuttle Doves, the guitar you hear on (pretty much) all of my songs, and the one I've played on live shows the most. I've been calling her “Bluey” for a bit. If ya got a better name, speak now or… speak now, I suppose.

Live n' Love, Tuttle Doves.

Here's me playing the acoustic version of “Why Would I (Crucified)” off of my first album!! (Where The Willow Tree Weeps)

Live n' Love, Tuttle Doves. (The root canal went all good, by the way) : )

Hey hey!! Goin' in for a root canal today. (My first one ever, hopefully the last one) so I might be down and out later. Still wanted to post this today before I get drugged up. (Legally) Perhaps I'll come up with a song when I'm lying back in the dentist's chair. Who knows…

Live n' Love, Tuttle Doves. (See pre-root canal Xander below) :)
