Album Notes

This is about making music that matters to us. Giving voice to the greatest fears and joys of being human at this time on the planet. We want our songs to be alive, awakening, uplifting, participative, reflective, full of heart and clarity - we want to be of be provocateurs of meaningful conversation and evocateurs of the best in all of us. We’re not going to die saying we didn’t give it a go.

A music that brings people together - gives voice to a movement that doesn’t make the media. This is a call to arts, when the world is being called to arms.

An album full of rhyming for a reason and tight, groovy music. We hired the best mics and sound equipment available in our town and recorded it in our guest room decked out with matresses and blankets. Our friends produced, designed and played with us - this album comes from friends playing together, all who are professionals and performers in their own right. We are proud of it and hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we have enjoyed making it!
