Album Notes

For the past decade, Ty Gram has performed in coffeehouses, church basements, and folk venues. Her rich, expressive voice and storytelling flair have captivated audiences in big cities and small towns. Every song tells a story. Every two stories have a story in between.

These are songs of spiritual healing and recovery. They begin with romance addiction, the pain of seclusion, the futility of misplaced faith... and end with a life fulfilled. Each song is a gem formed by life's adversities and lessons.

"There is a striking spiritual depth in Ty Gram's music. Some of her songs revolve around the stunningly painful reality of suffering. Others are more lighthearted celebrations of the foibles and predicaments we find ourselves in as we strive for meaning and purpose. This is music for those who are looking for company as they journey through life's surprises and challenges."-Father Mike Knotek
