“It’s All Good”

“It’s all good”. I’ve said that a lot in my life. I say “it’s all good” when someone disappoints me, lets me down or doesn’t show up when plans are made. I say that even though I feel the exact opposite so I don’t make them feel bad. I knowingly say it at my expense. I also say “it’s all good” when things are genuinely going well in my life. It just made sense to name my new album that because it truly covers both ends of that spectrum.

This is my 12th(!) album, but it honestly feels like it’s my first. I’ve always envisioned my music to have the sound of a full band, but for most of my musical career, I wasn’t able to make that happen until now. Drums, electric guitars, harmonies, etc. I performed every instrument myself. I mixed and mastered everything as well. Throughout the month long recording process, there were a few instances where I felt like I was onto something great that had the potential to make waves.

From the hopeful optimism of “A New Year” to the polished grit of “Incapable”, the country-esque vibes of “The Same Old Ghosts”, the unbridled joy of “Dancing in the Downpour”, the power pop energy of “Sweet Serenity” and “My Heart, My Everything”, the intensity of “The Storm”, the rise and fall of “Summer (Instrumental)” and the Jimmy Eat World-like album closer “Dissociate”, this album has something for everyone. I put my everything into these 9 songs. “Incapable” is the first single and will be available to stream on Friday. You’ll also be able to preorder and presave the album on iTunes, Spotify, Bandcamp, and wherever else you get your music. The album itself will come out on October 2nd. I’ll also have my album release show happening the same day over at Glacier Sun Winery.

I aimed for the stars with this record, and can only hope you’ll see and feel that when you listen to it.
