About "Redshift"
"Redshift" is about the restless exploration of big life questions. The reaching for answers and certainties knowing full well they'll slip into the dark right at the last moment. Getting older, leaving your 20s, being pulled into your 30s, and entering that stretch of life when possibilities begin to recede, no longer solely into the past, but also now from the possible future.
It’s about trying to find hope. In other people. For other people.
I put everything I had into these songs and recordings. And can’t wait to share them with you.
Album release show
Come celebrate the release of "Redshift" three days after it arrives on February 26th @ Schuba’s Tavern in Chicago. It’s where I’ve seen so many of my favorite bands over the years I spent writing and recording my album. I can’t imagine a more fitting spot to commemorate its release.
Thank you
It’s been my lifelong dream to put out an album.
In 5th grade, I drew the cover art for my (imaginary) first record. It took a decade to write enough songs I really believed in. It took a few years to refine, record, resent, and relove them.
I’m grateful for everyone who helped me make this dream a reality.
