Album Release Update

The release of my first album is in its final stages. The cover was recently completed, it is simple, inspired by my Grandfather and the campfires which I sat around growing up, listening to his stories and lessons. The image is a rendering of an actual photo of one of these very fires. The tracks on the album have a variety of themes but all of them reflect experiences and ideas that have helped to create the foundation of what myself and my music are today. I hope that those who listen are able to relate to something in it on a personal and meaningful level, and perhaps are even able to look at something from a different perspective. I believe, and I think part of this comes from my Grandfather, that when you have the attention of even a few, and you don't bother to say something worth saying, you waste a valuable opportunity. To my memory my Grandfather never missed such an opportunity, and in his honor I hope this album is something worth listening to.
