Under The Covers - The Songs He Didn't Write

Twenty-four covers of standards and soul classics reimagined through a gravelly, late-night filter. Loose, theatrical, and deeply atmospheric.

It's Tom Waits singing your grandpa's favorite songs in a basement bar, and it's better than the originals.

A weary but playful late-night session that finds beauty in the frayed edges of classic songs.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sheer audacity of the James Brown covers where the funk is replaced by a skeletal, clattering blues stomp.

The tender, almost unrecognizable vulnerability in the piano-led rendition of I Left My Heart in San Francisco.

Auld Lang Syne sounding less like a celebration and more like a weary survivor's toast at the end of the world.
