This project is a snapshot of life – the songs are about life (and death, and everything in between). Some are fact, some are fiction, and some are a combination of both. All are seen through the musical lens of my own station in life. I have been extraordinarily fortunate over the past few years to make music with a lot of fantastic and inspiring musicians; many have given their time and talent to this project.
