‘Coalition’ and the feelings that come with it. The process.

Hello folks,

I’m sitting here blankly staring into the air, listening to the wind blow through the trees and wrestle a few leaves off that are ready for the fall. At this point, I kind of feel like one of the leaves that is hanging on for dear life even though my colour is changing and it’s time for me to fall.

I just got out of the studio…13 days recording the new album ‘Coalition’. I’m hit once again by the overwhelming changes you never see coming and ever evolving sound that is part of being a musician I guess. An identity crisis that needed to happen. This next album is…insane. It’s huge. It’s different than anything I’ve ever done. It’s everything I’ve always wanted to do. It’s bluesy, it’s pop, it’s roots, it’s Americana, it’s hard to define. It’s Susan Tedeschi meets Brandie Carlile, meets Alabama Shakes, meets The Black Keys, meets Whitehorse, meets gospel, and a hummingbird just flew up to the window and that’s a really good sign they say. I find I can’t sigh enough these days. I just never have enough air in my lungs because I keep holding my breath.
