about

When the Covid-19 pandemic happened all of our gigs got cancelled. I wanted to try to what I could to take advantage of the time. I had this idea to record a batch of songs in my basement. Just me, my guitars and Garageband.

This is the result of months of writing, recording and fine tuning. This is a collection of songs I've written, traditional folk songs and covers by Neil Young and The Replacements.

It took a ton of work for me to figure out how to arrange these songs and then get them to sound halfway decent with Garageband. It was a huge experiment, but I think some of my best work. I hope you like it.
