The Blues is a unique sound that comes from particular times, places, and people - However, that sound is universal in that it can be used to articulate every human emotion - In this album, I invite listeners from all walks of life, to the world of The Blues as it is in 2024 - I invite people to engage with the ups and downs we all experience, through this music

The blues was a black-American innovation in our history that had many facets to it. There are technical components to the blues - standards and vocal phrasing. There are also components to the blues that are more abstract, such as history, geography, even intellectual movements. In this album, I endeavored to use those building blocks to articulate the humanity I see around me - past, present, and future - without compromising the quality the foundation that the blues provides.

These ffteen original songs are my invitation to everyone out there - whether you're a blues afcionado or just passing through the genre, I hope you fnd plenty to engage with.
