quiet corners is out
I released Quiet Corners on September 2, 2020.
Click here to find it on your preferred streaming service.
This collection of songs is twenty-three and a half minutes of twangy indie folk that outline a year of coming home to myself.
In “Quiet Corners of Virginia,” you’ll hear optimism in its infancy. In “Little House,” you’ll hear a spell that manifested me my first real home in a decade. In “Here Right Now,” you’ll hear one heart calling to another. In “Sorry ‘Bout Your Boyfriend,” you’ll hear confidence and powerful boundary-setting. In “OK Highway,” you’ll hear gratitude realized in contrast. In “If You Wanna Stay,” you’ll hear self-reflection, self-acceptance, and then an invitation to take me only as I am.
Below are three ways to enjoy the record.
1
Listen and vibe out.
2
Share with friends, family, and foes.
3
Stream silently on repeat to crack the evil algorithms.

I’m thankful for the nice feedback I’ve been getting on Quiet Corners. I put a big chunk of my savings and more than a whole year of my life into recording and releasing these songs. It’s scary to gamble on myself, but I’m trying to believe in good outcomes. I feel like positive reviews are little candles in the darkness celebrating my progress and guiding me onward.
