I'm happy to share my latest collection "Ohio Reveries". Released on 4.8.22, this is a collection inspired by my Ohio home and the places it has taken me. I've traveled the world, felt joy and elation, heartache and loss, branches extending ever wider, and roots digging ever deeper into the soil from where I was born and continue to grow. Glimpses of those experiences are collected in this group of singles from late 2021 and early 2022, along with alternate 'Guitar + Strings' versions. 'Ohio Reveries' is streaming everywhere and available in CD and limited edition record form (with two different designs) via the online store. I'm so grateful for the positive reception these songs have had. They've been included on over 100 curated playlists and featured by over 25 indie publications from all over the world. You can listen to the songs, browse the coverage, and watch behind the scenes, compilations, and music videos below. Also, you can learn more about the artwork here. Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy these reveries.
