Cover of “Lock-Keeper” by Stan Rogers

Lock-Keeper

A story-driven with folk wisdom and humor — a campfire tale turned anthem for a beloved, humble hero.

Johnny's Song

An introspective track with a surrealist lens, exploring the psyche, inner conflict, and rising above chaos.

Lost in Reverie

An exploration of modern psychological unrest and societal disillusionment. It has elements of social commentary, introspective angst, and subtle satire.

The Unknown Fear

Inspired by an apartment I once lived in with a focus on the downstairs neighbor who claimed to have been Steven Tyler’s driver back in the 1970’s, lol. A raucous memory capsule—half dream, half chaotic truth. It hits at that sweet spot between nostalgia, absurdity, and youthful recklessness.

To the Moon

The tension of performance,  personal collapse, and bad coffee.

Showtime Blues

My first attempt at writing a waltz. A life long reflective journey through moments that continue to shimmer long after they’ve passed.

The Last Light

Hooligan Luke

A character piece filled with empathy for the overlooked and misunderstood.

Vagabond

Blackthorn Winter touches upon themes of grief, longing, companionship, and the mystery of death. Reflective, somber, but ultimately tender. It is also an experiment in tempo changes.

Blackthorn Winter

A wordless meditation on transcendence and renewal. It traces the awakening journey of a soul guided by an ethereal presence—moving from darkness toward a radiance that rises, gathers, and finally ascends.

Call of the Seraph
