Excited to let you know that my new album, The Poet Tree is coming out next month on December 10th! Which happens to be Emily Dickinson's birthday :-) The album is a collection of poems set to music and I pretty much played only piano on this one - it's a very different sound with cello, strings, brass and lots of vocal harmonies and I had an absolute blast making it. It features poems by Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Sappho, e.e. cummings, Edna St. Vincent Millay, a guy called “Shakespeare,” and some other great and lesser-known poets. Most of who, by choice and coincidence, happened to be LGBTQ. It was a real departure for me and a very different way of working and ended up being SUPER inspiring (I already have a Volume II in the works!) Available for pre-order here and on iTunes starting November 25th! 

Just launched a Kickstarter for this album I've been working called The Poet Tree! It's a collection of works by my favorite poets that I put to music after I got sober and locked myself in a room for a month with a piano. So it was a pretty deep dive, but the end result is kind of sublime :-) Check out the video and backstory at Kickstarter and hope you'll consider becoming a pledging/supporting! 

Hey there! I just uploaded a version of The First Noel I recorded this past week - it's available as a free mp3 along with some other tracks from years past. Feel free to download and share! Hope you have a great holiday season and new year, look forward to catching up with you in 2023 :-)
