In 2010 I was experimenting with recording different original songs and covers by Gillian Welch, Bob Marley and Cat Power in a small apartment in Merchantville, Nj. One night I saw this documentary about Tom Petty - it blew my mind and it really inspired to do my own solo album. At the time when I wrote and recorded this album I was hearing of course Tom Petty, Cat Power, Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young, Bob Dylan and Antony Hegarty floating around in my head. Some of the greatest musicians in Philadelphia are on this album: Andy Keenan (from the Amos Lee band, calexico, John Byrne Band), Jason Fraticelli (from the Cyro Baptista band, Matisyahu), Justiin Leigh (from Aerial Photograph, Ellipsis) John Stenger (from the Natalie Walker band, Venissa Santi) It was an amazing experience taking these guys into the studio and most of everything was done live on this record with minimal overdubs. We had all played together in many different bands and situations over many years, and there's a really loose, organic feeling that really come out in this music I really love this record and I'm so glad that I'm finally putting it online for the world to hear!
