about

In December 2006, I graduated college. I spent the next month or so attempting to home record a full album of songs I'd spent the previous few years writing. The songs span my time at LSU, my move to Tennessee, and my move back home. In a weird way, they tell the story of these moves. I played as much as I could myself and brought several people on board to fill in the rest. It was.... a learning experience.
