Time Spent In Between

I Said I Was Going and I Went

Do cool things, take cool photos. Listen to, see, and get inspired by cool music along the way.

Singer/songwriter Joe Kaplow lives in a four-acre mansion in the hills of Santa Cruz. Of course, he shares the space with a group of hippies, some rats, and some very dilapidated floors and walls... but it does have a swimming pool.

For Kaplow, becoming a full-time musician - and adopting the lifestyle that often accompanies it - didn’t happen by accident. Having moved from farm life and family in New Jersey to the rich Santa Cruz music community, Kaplow has often found himself living paycheck to paycheck as he departs on three-month U.S. solo tours, records music in various bedrooms of the house where he lives, rehearses with his new band and writes constantly, dedicating himself fully and lovingly to the craft of songwriting.

Kaplow’s debut album Time Spent In Between is  simultaneously grounded and exploratory; the music is equal parts  intimate and expansive.  With raw instrumentation and earthy vocal melodies, Time Spent In Between is rich with folk songwriting brilliance.
