Debut Album Through the Gates out now!
I made a record!
Through the Gates is the culmination of my focus on home recording in 2020 during the pandemic. I spent much of the year learning about recording and mixing then escaped to the mountains of North Carolina in Nov 2020 to record the majority of this record. I enlisted the remote help of some of my favorite musicians in Nashville to round things out and here it is! My very first solo record. I’m calling it Through the Gates because 2020 forced me to take the next step in my career as an artist and finally put some of my own music out into the world!
Through the Gates is available now on all digital platforms! CLICK TO LISTEN / DOWNLOAD OR BUY ON BANDCAMP
