Dear Friends,
This past year has been an amazing journey of music and discovery. We released our debut EP in August of 2018 and the response has blown us away. From our initial single ‘Kids are Sleeping’ to the current single, ‘Always’, we have been able to connect with more people than ever before. This engagement with so many people has literally inspired us to continue to grow and create in new and challenging ways. The songs are coming at such a rapid rate that we can’t wait any longer to get back in the studio and record the beauty of these songs for all of you.
Our debut EP was entirely funded by a systematic sale of virtually every guitar, keyboard, and piece recording equipment from my personal collection. I do not regret this decision in the least bit because I believed in the songs that much to put everything on the line to ensure that it was completed and released in a way that was true to the original inspiration and vision. I also did not want to place the financial burden on any other person but myself, with the hope that these songs would find a place in the hearts and lives of many listeners. While I consider this a success beyond any of my expectations, the loss of instruments and equipment does present a challenge for going forward, first and foremost being that there is nothing left to sell to fund the next project. However, I do not consider this a struggle, but a beautiful opportunity for us to partner together to make something special.
Our goal for the next project is to record 5 new songs, all that speaks to the continual journey of the heart, for an EP titled ‘Maps’. These songs feel fresh and immediate and I want to record them in such a way that retains that energy and life. I intend on using many of the same musical partners as the first project, but also others that I have met in the past months who I believe will add their own story and skill to the songs. Our goal is to have the project completed and released by August 2019 and celebrate its birth with each of you who continue to support, encourage, and inspire us.
With your help, we can make this a reality. Please partner with us as we continue on this musical journey of the heart.
