  • Rain Covered Road - Acoustic Version

    This was a fun recording! A little backstory; We recorded this the same day as the original version, only just before, while we had some time to kill

    It was recorded in one single take with my tired morning voice, 3 acoustic guitars, and an egg shaker. It captured a whole different feeling than the original. We Love it, have a listen!

  • Salt-Stained

    This piece takes the listener on a journey of love, loss, and renewal. Based on a three-act structure- from light-hearted emotions, through darker times, and ending in a place of hope & healing. The lyrics and music work perfectly together to create a powerful experience.

  • 23

    Twenty-Three years of Life, but where has the time gone and where is it going? “I’m younger than I’ve ever been, older than I’ll ever be…”
