Leap Year is here (soon)

The mixes are complete — Bob Harris did his studio alchemy. The design is gorgeous - Mitch McNeil did his visual magic and the album is ready to be ushered into the world of radio, streaming, and whatever ways people listen these days.

“It was a year. A leap year. A leap into the unknown; a terrible and terrifying time. We moved indoors and separated into pods. It was a time of forced reflection, intensified relationships and/or loneliness, physical and mental distance. It was also a time of social upheaval, racial reckoning, political splintering, climate disruption. As time stretched out in all directions, I found threads of new songs and followed them back in my history and forward to the incomprehensible now.  The songs are of this time, reflecting a new vantage point when ‘normal’ life is suspended. Writing them was an integration, a catharsis, a lifeline to past and future. These new songs will always be timestamped ‘in between times;’ while looking back we realize, more than ever, that we have no idea what is to come.”
