New Album! 

Earlier this year, after working with Mark Lucas to curate and arrange the songs, I went into Audible Images Studio to record them with engineer extraordinaire, Jay Dudt.

In the studio, we assembled a dream team of musicians. On keyboards - Cliff Barnes. On bass - Anton DeFade. On drums - David Throckmorton. On guitar - Mark Lucas.

We recorded these songs over two days and I could not be more thrilled with the finished results of my first solo album. I hope you enjoy it!

The main ingredient is loveā€¦love for the music, love for the songwriters and musicians with which I collaborate, and love for all of you who listen and support us as musicians.
