This album is dedicated with love to my family...
Norman, Audrey, Jeff, Unique, Roberta, Pat, Taylor & Jenna. Without you, none of this would be possible.
Going in a new direction isn't always the easiest or safest thing to do, but it's most definately exciting. Venturing off the beaten path was a necessary step for me, in fulfilling my desire to create a more personal and heartfelt recording.. This album is more than just music to me - it's about listening to that inner voice, about experimentation, about being "in the moment", about adventure. It was also a whole lot of fun to make!
Much has changed for me over the past couple of years. Most notably, I've found a new home (both literally and figuratively), and I am excited and honored to share it with you.
Hope you enjoy the music.
