Song by Song. . .
“It’s a process…..” A line from a song I wrote w/ my friend Cameron Bedell called, “Haven’t Given Up”. And that statement couldn’t be more true for this project. It’s been just that, a process. A six-song EP, that we’re releasing as as singles throughout the rest of 2020.
Things happen. Life happens. Projects get delayed. But putting out this new music has been something I’ve been wanting & waiting to do since before I moved to Nashville from Norman, OK….wanting new material to be out….waiting until I felt the songs were right. And I couldn’t be more excited to finally be releasing the rest of it throughout 2020. We have already released the first two songs, “Love Back” and “Viral” in 2019. And now, instead of releasing the traditional album or EP, there will be a steady stream of content throughout the year. The EP will be unfolded song by song every couple of months on all of the major streaming platforms.
I can’t sing enough praises of Bobby Brinker and his bringing these songs to life with his natural knack for production. I got to watch him in real-time coming up with unique ideas, rhythms, and phrasings. I’m so proud to have had Bobby record and produce all six songs for this project. I am humbled by the Brinker family’s generosity, hospitality, and spare bedroom throughout this process (Thank you Bobby, Anna, Wells, & Fisher).
I’m forever grateful to my friends and peers that helped make this project happen from the songwriting and production to the promo content, and those who were advising, encouraging, and supporting me along the way including giving me a place to sleep between my trips from OKC to Nashville and in between.
