Mixed in Minneapolis by Tom Tucker (Prince, Greg Brown) and mastered in Nashville…Yonder sounds amazing! Original artwork album artwork created by Gene Flores.

“For me, Yonder is very much the journey from Iowa to Los Angeles…from the quiet plains to the ocean, strip clubs and bright lights.” – KP
