This song is the lead single from my upcoming EP which took shape during a long weekend locked away in a remote Airbnb along the Appalachian trail. This is an unabashedly spiritual project-a personal Christian devotion from my literal mountaintop trip, and “Tell Everybody” is the invocation (opening prayer). Featured on the track are my friends from TWLV, a small Christian music collective with a devoted following. Similar artists are Jonathan Ogden, Josh Garrels, Young Oceans, Mark Barlow, etc.

Tell Everybody

"Again" expresses the desire to return to a place of growth while acknowledging the process is slow and there is grace for failure. The dramatic musical scene-changes try to capture the tension of desiring what once was, while becoming content with what is, and excited for what's to come. This is song 2/4 of a collaborative EP which took shape at a cabin in Appalachia. This is a spiritual project for me -a personal devotion from my mountaintop trip, brought to life by a lovely cast of friends :)

Again (ft. Christopher Burkholder)

This is the story of a profoundly impactful encounter Emorie and I had with a remarkable man. Naed was a devotee of the Catholic Worker Movement, living intentionally in poverty to work charitably within his impoverished neighborhood. A single day with him inspired us to strive for the kind of love and mercy he gave to others, love which he attributed solely to the grace of God, the “tears of amazing grace” which watered his beloved community garden. This is our humble eulogy in memoriam of him. His voice can be heard singing a favorite hymn with us at the end of the track, recorded stealthily by me on the actual day which the song is about.

Jessie aka Emorie, featured on the track, is a Nashville-based songwriter with a stunningly prolific discography as Jessie Villa (indie pop), Emorie (alt/acoustic), Luna Wave (synthwave/edm), and more. For Tuesday (that’s me) is my outlet for writing hazy, lofi indie songs ranging in genre from emo-tinged 90s alt rock to sample-driven alt pop. “Grow This Garden” is the third in a series of songs that initially took shape this summer on a solo trip to a cabin in Appalachia where I began collating a set of collaborative tracks focusing on themes of my Christian spirituality.

Grow This Garden ft. Emorie

This is the first single from my upcoming 11 track debut concept album. Each track corresponds to a section of the prophetic book of Zechariah interpreted into hazy, experimental folk songs like this one. Red Horse is an interpretation of chapters 1-2 - "The Red Horse" and "The Man with a Measuring Line".

Red Horse

Zechariah chapter 3: "Clean Garments for the High Priest".

Lyrics:
I'm at the wrong party with the wrong people this evening
I've got a sinking feeling like I left the stove on at home
I'm at the wrong party with the wrong people this evening
I can't seem to shake the feeling that I don't belong

Lose me in the narrow velvet seam of the night
Lose me in the alley in the flicker of the lights
Every second speeds up my pulse a second more
Conjures my resolve to meet you on the dance floor

When I snake my way through the writhing of the crowd
Slipping through the sweat and the madness and the loud
I expect to see a single person that I know
But I'm at the wrong party and my friends didn't show

So somehow I lost myself
Somewhere here in the haze
And somehow I'll never find it again
Somehow I gained some wisdom
Somewhere here in the haze
And somehow I'll never find that again

Peer in from the edge of the corner of my mind
Looking for a reason I should go back inside
And of course, there it is, the ever-worsening divide
Between where I am, me, myself and I

My patience burns low like the end of a match
Tingling fingers pulling closed on the latch
Nothing here tonight really felt right at all
And as I closed the back door the air hit me like a wall

I feel the illusion slipping that drew me here
Somehow the bass phase-cancels out what I want to hear
At the end of the night when lights come on
I'll slip out the back and go down the alley headed home

wrong party

For Tuesday is Mark Ferris, the songwriter, instrumentalist, producer/mix engineer behind the songs. The project began as a series of lofi music sketches on Instagram and TikTok where Ferris explored the creative possibilities of cassette tapes, guitar pedals and synthesizers to make short-form tape loop driven ambient, lofi, experimental music. Inevitably, the project birthed a series of single releases to explore different ways of integrating some of those lofi tape sounds with an indie pop or rock sensibility, leading to the release of The Postal Service-inspired single “Hard Drive” in August 2020, followed by the release of The Smashing Pumpkins-esque “The Summer Went” in October 2020, then rounding out the year with the release of the synth and riff-heavy “Count Me In” a month later, described by Chalk Pit Records as “idyllic synth-pop anthem (which) will have you listening on repeat”.
