Picking Up the Pieces

A return to raw, acoustic storytelling. Stripped of pop artifice, these fourteen tracks favor unvarnished vocals and percussive guitar over studio polish.

September 11, 2015 · Sugar Hill Records (2)

A stark, unvarnished exploration of heartbreak and heritage that feels both weary and wise.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The raw, unedited vocal break during the bridge of 'Everything Breaks' where the technical perfection gives way to pure emotion.
