Dear Friends & Supporters,

 

I am excited to announce my latest project, "Songs I Was Raised On," an album featuring fifteen covers of folk classics from the 1960s and 70s. This collection holds special significance for me as it reflects not only my musical journey but also the profound influence my parents’ politically engaged lives during those decades had on my childhood. The current political climate reinforces that this is the right time for this album both to pay tribute to the music that shaped my upbringing but also to honor the generation that introduced me to these songs by offering them a fresh interpretation from a voice two generations later.

 

Each song on this album resonates with stories and ideals that have shaped my values and artistic expression. Growing up listening to these songs on vinyl, I was deeply inspired by the spirit of activism and change that defined that era, along with my parents' experiences of life in D.C. during the 60s and beyond. Through this project, I aspire to connect my family experiences with the rich historical tapestry that these songs embody.

 

The album is set to be released in the early autumn of 2025. As a patron, you will be very much a part of this journey, as I share insights, behind-the-scenes moments, casual interviews, and narratives behind each track. *More details to come on patronage and how to get involved. 

 

So, stay tuned for updates on the release date, album artwork, sneak previews of the tracks, and early single releases!

 

Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
