Welcome to my Hermit Kingdom. At the beginning of the global pandemic I began writing and recording new songs. During the process I had to deal with multiple health setbacks that for a time left me unsure of my future ability to play guitar. The insecurity of the situation made clear to me that I should document the skills and instruments I've collected over the years. During lock down, collaborative efforts were not an option, so I decided to create an album completely on my own. I wrote, played, recorded, and produced every bit of this album, even down to the artwork. The artwork features the instruments used on the recordings. Many are gifts from family and friends who have passed before. I thank you for the opportunity to share their sounds with you.
