“When You Wake Up”
Would you believe me if I said I wrote this after listening exclusively to Queens of the Stone Age for a few weeks?

“The One You Want”
This was still about exploring intertwined, chorus-colored guitar riffs — but also some chugging. Written with warmer months on the horizon.
Supporting: Sweet Relief

“Easy Mornings”
After binging on Johnny Marr solo records, I took a good chunk of a Saturday to write and record this one.
Supporting: Housing Works

“Body Betrays”(2020 Demo)
If you're into moody, sludgy, rock 'n' roll music, then this one's for you. It's a song that was written near the end of last year in response to witnessing the events in America unfold.
Supporting: Equal Justice Initiative

“Marietta” (2012 Demo)
Written and recorded one late night nearly a decade ago while first experimenting with synth-driven compositions.
