Hot off the presses! My full length debut album, Hammers & Strings, comes out on October 1st, 2014. I am beyond thrilled to finally share this news with you along with the album cover art:

Hammers & Strings is more than just a standard collection of songs – it’s an epic story about love and loss, more of a musical novel than simply a record. It chronicles the rise, fall, and aftermath of a relationship that seems picture perfect at some times, and doomed for failure at others.

I’m releasing a sneak peek of one track per weekday until 10.01.14 on my Facebook Page – I hope you’ll follow along!

And if you haven’t seen it, you can take a look at the second album trailer here:

I am so, so excited to be able to give you this big sneak peek at the upcoming record. As you can tell, the whole team had a ton of fun recording the album, and we wanted to give you a look at all the behind the scenes action.

Samm Bahman, guitarist extraordinaire, and I shot pretty much all of the video ourselves, and Samm did an awesome job on the editing. Thanks, Samm!

I’ve been working on a full length solo release for over a year now.

There was snow on the ground last January, when I gathered together with my production team for a full run through of the album, and there’s snow on the ground now as we finish up the final recording and mixing sessions. Somewhere along the way, there were tree buds and flowers and green leaves, 90-degree summer days, thunderstorms, sunshine, clouds, early mornings and late nights and a whole lot of hard work.

It’s been the busiest, most difficult, most exhausting, most frustrating, most rewarding, happiest year of my professional life. I’m absolutely thrilled that we’re nearing the end of this process so that I can finally share what we’ve been working on with all of you, but in a way it’s also sad, and a little scary, to move on to the next step.

But don’t worry, there’s still a lot of work to do. We aren’t there quite yet. So while you wait, here’s a few snapshots of what life’s been like for us over the past 365 days, String Sessions Edition.
