I have given myself to these songs entirely, pouring my heart and soul into them time & time again. They are the raw and unhidden truths of my last two years and all that I have faced in that time. From finding a love that I never knew could exist, to searching for an understanding and view through the lens of grief, as my mother passed away. These melodies and words have washed over me again and again, guiding me through my darkest hours and providing me with the light of hope. They are the reflection of this time where love & loss, beauty & pain, have all lived so closely together.


That truth is echoed throughout these songs as the album took shape, transforming from an acoustic guitar and voice, to a full band sound. The record is weaved together by intimate “ballad-like” folk songs, shifting gears into the electric and passion filled rock-band performances. The debut album Ghost of You is brutally honest, open hearted and does not shy away from the human emotions that we all navigate in this lifetime.
