My debut solo album. I've been wanting to make this record a reality for over 10 years. Some of these songs are over 8 years old. This record has changed greatly since I dreamed of it at 17. I couldn't be more happier with the results. It has grown and changed with my musical journey. It has grown just like me. 

I am so deeply grateful for the musicians and artists who helped me make this album. Their unique styles and musical input made the album greater than anything I could dream of. It was such an honor to have such brilliant souls come together and make these songs become what they are now. My brethren you are all fantastic artists. Your musical talents inspire me to become a better musician. 

I am also so thankful for my family and close friends for supporting me both emotionally and financially. I am forever appreciative of your love and support. Thanks Mom and Dad for buying me a guitar at 6 years old and helping me realize my dreams and my true calling. Thank you for always believing in me. I love you so much. 

To my friends, thank you for encouraging me to make this album finally happen after all these years. Thank you for being true friends and loving me for who I am. Thank you for always being the shelter from the storm. I couldn't ask for better folks to call my friends. 

Thank you Jason Davis for being a mentor, friend, and colleague. It was you who finally lit the spark to make this record happen. You have taught me so much about how to be a better musician/artist but also generally just a better human being. The knowledge and wisdom I have gained from your guidance is irreplaceable. You have supported me on my journey since I first walked into your studio as a young pup. It was only right to make one last record in that old farm house. The nostalgia and memories run deep within those walls. You were the key factor in making this record a reality. Thank you for your wonderful ears and knowledge. Your input crafted these rough ideas into real music. You made these songs what they are. You are a true friend and I look forward to many more vodka sodas, pool games, and juicy hit records for years to come.

My Feet Barely Touch The Ground (Acoustic)

My Feet Barely Touch The Ground

Heart Is On The Run

Down On The Scene

Pyramids

Walk Along The Sky

Time Slips Up

The second official single off of my debut solo album, "Atticus Sorrell" 

This is song is heavily inspired by the novel 'Still Life With Woodpecker' by Tom Robbins
lyrics
Who knows how to make love stay?
It don't play to rules, it don't work that way
You can't chain it down like some exotic beast
Just take it day by day and give it away for free
Don't let it turn into some worn out cliche
'Cause often times it really tends to go that way
Romance aint no bandwagon for lost souls 
With nothing better to ride
Love's an outlaw baby can't you see?
Oh tell me please

Who's side are you on anyway?
Who knows how to make love stay?
The woodpecker broke the camel's back
There's Leigh-Cheri's dreams on a 20 pack

When freedom's outlawed only outlaws will be free
I saw that painted on a wall education from the streets
So listen princess as you build your tomb
This aint no fairytale at all, we're just barking at the moon
There's just one word in outlaw philosophy 
Its the simple word of choice wrapped in veils of mystery 
You know the reason why they built the pyramids?
Pedestals for our souls to bravely dance upon the tips
Everything's a part of it now, oh can't you see?

Who knows how to make love stay?
Perpetuating the mystery 
Won't be deprived of the joys of life
There's smiling eyes read between the lines

It'll be alright, it'll be okay
Our lifes but a drama and the world is but our stage
It'll be alright now, it'll be okay
The simple facts of life are out here on the final page

Atticus Sorrell is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter who has gigged and recorded throughout the midwestern US for over a decade, but that's not what's important. Anything of real importance to you won't be read here, it'll be found through an immersive listen to the music. Whether he's rolling solo, raising rockin' hell with The Be Colony, or stretching out in other settings, Atticus employs a unique and expansive approach to the guitar which enhances some cunningly crafted tunes. So how does it sound? Like the self-described “carbureted introspection” that steps away from the plagues of fast mental fashion. This music is grounded and groovin'. Think George Harrison, Bill Withers, Neil Young, and Curtis Mayfield jamming, crooning out ideas born from those of Kurt Vonnegut and Tom Robbins - or maybe one of their favorite quotes from Fred Hampton, Terrence McKenna, or Abbie Hoffman. These sounds, themes, and time-altering textures are on full display on his new self-titled album. All tracks were recorded in Fort Wayne, Indiana at Off the Cuff Sound with some of the city's finest musicians. You can check it out on 8/27/2022, and that's the thing to do.
