I Built You a City

Ask any of my friends - I talk about music a lot. All the time. It makes up a majority of my conversations. It probably gets annoying at times, but it’s what I do.

I discuss the music I listen to, the music that I hear about, and the music I want to hear. I talk about my instruments and the other fun noise-making toys I have. I have no problem making up rough covers of songs I love and learning bits and pieces of the music that I know.

But talking about my own music weirds me out.

At the risk of being wrong, I’m not going to say that I rarely talk about my own songwriting. However, I can definitely say that I’m shy about it.

I mentioned it before: I’m not very used to writing songs that other people are meant to hear.

Now that I’m writing and recording songs that I intend to release, I’m finding that I’m not used to asking people to listen. It’s new ground. It’s exciting. It’s terrifying.

I released a 5-track EP less than 24 hours ago, and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. I love these songs. I love this release. It means something to me.

So I am truly grateful and humbled by those who have taken the time to check it out. To anyone who’s downloaded it, listened to it, skimmed the songs, or even took the chance to click the page and realize it wasn’t for them - I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’m not used to bringing attention to personal things, but I’m going to step away from that shyness, and ask for your ears.

I make no claims to the quality of the release. I’m not saying I’m new or innovative. I’m shy about my writing and my voice. I’m not an excellent guitarist. I’m not trying to become the next big thing. 

But I can say that I love this EP. I can say that these songs are honest, like the great songs that inspired me. I can say that I have a passion for what I am doing, and I can say that I have no plans to stop. I can say that this is something I am truly proud of.

And for those reasons, I ask for your ears.

Thank you to all those who are giving this a chance. It means the world to me and more.

Here we go, everyone! After years of spinning in circles and twirling my thumbs, I’m finally have an announcement worth your time!

I will be releasing an acoustic EP on May 9th, titled ‘Every Morning I Wake Up is Like the First Morning Without You.’ Head over to my Bandcamp to check out the artwork, see the track listing, and take a peak at one of the songs.

Thank you everyone for your support and patience so far. This is really happening, and I love you all from the bottom of my heart.
