New Release - ‘Always’
Out on February 14th - a symbolic love letter and a reminder to remain hopeful.
“With shoulder reconstructive surgery looming on January 31st, this song has become a personal anthem—a gentle pick-me-up for anyone experiencing stormy weather.
Recorded in the serene setting of Dan Gautreau's studio, nestled in a beautiful church by the sea, ‘Always’ was brought to life with my amazing band and the support of Help Musicians.
This track captures the essence of resilience, with lyrics that remind us, "there’s always a better way to see it, always a bigger way to feel it" I’m thrilled to share this piece of my journey, hoping it brings comfort and inspiration to others, just as it has for me.”
