NUUMUUN

The Tin Roof

“Too In Love” appears as the third track on NUUMUUN’s 2026 album Where The Mountain Meets The Waves. At 3:41, it sits between “The Runaway” and “The Somber” in the album’s seven-song sequence.

“Too In Love” captures the beautiful recklessness of giving yourself completely to another person. Rooted in NUUMUUN’s indie-folk and Americana storytelling, the song explores that intoxicating moment when love becomes bigger than reason—when caution disappears, vulnerability takes over, and the heart willingly steps into the unknown. There is joy and freedom in that surrender, but also an awareness of its danger: to love deeply is to risk deeply. Warm, intimate, and emotionally restless, “Too In Love” celebrates the wonderfully complicated feeling of knowing you may have gone too far and realizing that, for the moment, you wouldn’t have it any other way.

“Too In Love” as a song about the exhilarating—and sometimes dangerous—feeling of surrendering completely to love. There is something wonderfully contradictory in the title. Being “in love” is usually something we celebrate, but being too in love suggests crossing a line where affection becomes vulnerability, where another person begins to occupy so much of your emotional world that reason has trouble keeping up.

Musically, the song fits NUUMUUN’s indie-folk, Americana, and roots-oriented approach, but there is a youthful energy to the idea behind it. Rather than presenting romance as something polished or perfect, “Too In Love” feels like love experienced from inside the emotion itself—exciting, consuming, impulsive and a little frightening.

Like many strong folk and country songs, its appeal is in storytelling through emotion. The listener isn't simply being told that someone is in love; the song evokes what it feels like when love becomes bigger than the boundaries we normally use to protect ourselves. There is sweetness in that surrender, but also uncertainty. When you give someone that much of yourself, you also give them the ability to hurt you.

Within Where The Mountain Meets The Waves, that idea creates an interesting progression. “The Runaway” evokes movement and independence, while “Too In Love” turns toward attachment and emotional surrender before the album moves into the darker territory suggested by “The Somber.”

The Royal American

Opened in 2011 by John Kenney and Karalee Fallert, The Royal American transformed a former ironworks building into one of Charleston's most beloved neighborhood music venues. Retaining the building's industrial character, it has earned a reputation for outstanding original music, local talent, and nationally touring artists while maintaining a relaxed, authentic Charleston atmosphere.

“Stay Like This”  track by NUUMUUN, released in 2026 and included on the seven-song album Where The Mountain Meets The Waves.

Musically and emotionally, the song can be described as dreamlike, intimate, and suspended in time. It captures that fragile moment when two people recognize that what they have together is beautiful precisely because it cannot be held forever. The title, Stay Like This, feels less like a demand and more like a quiet wish—to preserve a feeling, a relationship, or a moment before life inevitably changes.

There is a strong sense of longing and impermanence at the heart of the song. Rather than treating love as something that must be possessed or guaranteed, NUUMUUN explores the desire simply to remain inside a moment of closeness. Happiness and sadness coexist: there is warmth in being with someone you love, but underneath it lies the awareness that time keeps moving.

That makes the song fit naturally within the larger emotional world suggested by Where The Mountain Meets The Waves. Even the album's title evokes two different forces meeting at a boundary—the permanent mountain and the constantly changing sea. “Stay Like This” occupies a similar space: between holding on and letting go, permanence and change, memory and the present.

One of my first live shows was at Awendaw Green.

We are so lucky to have people like Eddie White and Brooks Greer who are willing to go out to support live music.  

Read their story below.

Eddie White & Brooks Geer
A Community Built Around Live Music

Just north of Charleston, tucked beside the Sewee Outpost, something special has been happening for years.

Awendaw Green has grown into one of the Lowcountry's most welcoming homes for original live music—a place where established musicians, touring artists and young performers can share a stage, find an audience and become part of a community.

At the heart of the story is Eddie White.

Eddie helped create Awendaw Green around a simple idea: give musicians a place to play and people a reason to listen. What began as an informal gathering grew into the beloved Wednesday-night Barn Jam, bringing together different genres, generations and musicians from Charleston and beyond.

When zoning issues threatened the original Barn Jam location, Brooks Geer, the Geer family and Sewee Outpost helped give the music a new home. That partnership allowed Awendaw Green to continue growing while maintaining the relaxed outdoor atmosphere that makes it so special.

Today, a night at Awendaw Green feels more like a gathering of friends than a traditional concert. There are picnic tables, trees, food, families, dogs and, most importantly, original music.

Eddie has also helped support musicians far beyond the Barn Jam through festivals, recording projects, production work and events throughout the Charleston area. Along the way, an incredible "volunteer army" of sound engineers, artists, vendors, musicians and music lovers has helped keep the community going.

That's why Awendaw Green is more than a venue.

It's part of Charleston's musical infrastructure.

It gives emerging artists somewhere to begin, touring musicians another place to be heard and audiences the opportunity to discover music they might otherwise never encounter.

Charleston's music scene is built by people willing to create opportunities for others. Eddie White has spent years doing exactly that, while Brooks Geer, the Geer family and Sewee Outpost helped provide the place where that community could flourish.

Thank you, Eddie. Thank you, Brooks and the Geer family. Thank you, Sewee Outpost—and thank you to everyone in the Awendaw Green community who keeps showing up and supporting original live music.

Sometimes building a great music community doesn't require a fancy concert hall.

Sometimes you just need a stage, some open land, people who care—and someone willing to turn the sound on.

Thanks Peter!  "So Beautiful and with a Fabulous endearing Voice! Thank You and keep Going! ❤️❤️❤️"

Live at the Charleston Pourhouse!!!!

The Charleston Pourhouse is one of my favorite places for live music.

I have been coming to shows here since I was a child.

We are grateful Alex and Vanessa for creating a iconic venue to support the independent artist!

See their story below

Few venues are as connected to Charleston’s independent music community as the Charleston Pour House.

The story began in 2002 when Alex Harris took over a small bar in West Ashley with a simple idea: create a place centered around the music he loved. Along with Vanessa Harris, he eventually built the Pour House into something much bigger—a true community gathering place.

After moving to James Island, the Pour House developed its distinctive two-stage setup: the intimate indoor Main Stage and the outdoor Deck Stage, where local and touring musicians perform throughout the week.

What makes the Pour House special is the culture around the music.

People come even when they don’t know the band. Musicians meet, collaborate, and build audiences there. Long-running traditions like Motown Throwdown, The Reckoning, and the annual Garcia Gathering have helped turn regular performances into community traditions.
The Pour House has also grown beyond concerts, hosting farmers markets, food, art, yoga, and other community events.

After more than two decades, Alex and Vanessa have created much more than a successful music venue.

They created a place where musicians and audiences feel like they belong.

That may be the best way to describe the Charleston Pour House:

Love. Live. Music.

Charleston Pour House — The Heartbeat of Charleston’s Independent Music Scene

NUUMUUN’s “The Runaway”  is a single from her album “Where the Mountains Meet The Waves”. The track runs 3:49 and was released through Neoma’s Records.

See NUUMUUN’s behind-the-scenes entry titled “Making the Runaway.”

I’d describe “The Runaway” as a song about freedom, self-discovery, and the courage to leave behind a life that no longer feels like your own. The idea of the “runaway” works on more than one level. It can mean physically leaving, but it can also represent breaking away from expectations, relationships, identities, or versions of ourselves that have become too restrictive

That interpretation fits especially well with NUUMUUN’s broader artistic identity. Neoma describes her music as being influenced primarily by indie, Appalachian folk, and rock, and says that music has taught her about her own “power and femininity,” with the hope that her work brings listeners “power, peace, and release.” “The Runaway” feels very much at home in that world: restless but vulnerable, independent but reflective.

There is also an interesting tension in the title. A “runaway” is often portrayed as someone escaping something, but the song can be heard from the opposite perspective: sometimes running away is actually running toward yourself. Leaving can be frightening and lonely, but it can also be the moment when a person finally decides to trust their own instincts.

Apple Music: "Where the Mountains meet the Waves"

Originally founded in 1991 by Carter McMillan and Kevin Wadley, Music Farm helped launch Charleston's modern live music scene. Today, it is operated through a partnership between Frank Productions, Live Nation, and the Charleston Music Hall team. The venue remains famous for introducing audiences to legendary artists before they became household names while continuing to host an exciting mix of rock, hip-hop, indie, comedy, and touring performances

I did a show at the Music Farm  earlier this summer.  It was SO MUCH FUN!!

Music Farm — Charleston’s Legendary Rock Room

Few Charleston venues have played as important a role in the city's modern music history as Music Farm. Since 1991, the Farm has been the kind of room where local musicians, college students, touring bands, and future stars collide—often with audiences standing only a few feet from the stage.
