Like so many musicians, I felt the impact in March 2020 when the pandemic suddenly slammed the door shut on our ability to play with, and for, other people in a live setting. While musicians around the world reached out to find creative ways to interact with each other, I settled into the basement bunkroom of our cabin in the North Cascades to explore a more personal side to music-making. After decades spent creating music tracks for others’ creative and commercial projects, I was looking to find my own voice. 12 months and 12 songs later, I’ve discovered voices that I didn’t know I had. 

Over the last year I wrote, arranged, performed and mixed all of these songs in my secluded mountain home. Unless otherwise noted, all sounds were made by me using 6- and 12-string acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, Pono octave mandolin, banjo, ukulele, dobro, keyboard synths/samplers/loops, and my voice. I offer them up to the universe’s ongoing chorus.
