The Making of Acadia (video series)

Check out my YoutTube channel to watch my new video series: The Making of Acadia! It includes over 40 minutes of behind the scenes footage from recording sessions for Acadia. It’s split up into 4 episodes, showing footage from the recording sessions for my songs Harvest, Sisters, Malamu, and Dream Lake. Hope ya’ll enjoy them!

Acadia out NOW!

My third studio album, Acadia, is out today on all platforms! I worked incredibly hard on this record and I’m so excited for everyone to finally hear it! Please give Acadia a listen and let me know what you think!

Also, make sure to check out the first episode of the Behind the Scenes of Acadia documentary series, where you can watch special BTS footage of the recording and collaboration process of some songs on Acadia. The first episode will highlight the last song on the album, Malamu, which features Immanuel Wilkins on alto sax and Marcus Gilmore on drums (who are both featured in the documentary episode)!

New Album, Acadia, Available for Pre-Order - New Single, Virga, Out Now!

I’m extremely excited to announce that my third album, Acadia, will be released on October 4th via Nonesuch Records. Virga, the first single from Acadia, is out now on all streaming platforms and YouTube! Please take a listen to it and let me know what you think!

I will be signing the first 150 LPs and the first 50 CDs that are pre-ordered through my web store. You can pre-order Acadia here!

I’m so proud to finally present Acadia to y’all. It’s my most sonically expansive work to date and features an array of accomplished musicians and friends including Immanuel Wilkins on saxophone, Aoife O’Donovan and Darlingside on vocals, Marcus Gilmore on drums, Kaki King and William Tyler on guitar, Dom Flemons on bones, and more artists who played phenomenally. I played several instruments on the album, including, but not limited to, many kinds of guitars, calabash drum, kora, and banjo. The sonic world of the album ranges from classically minded folk music to full rock with jazz influences and everything in between.

The first single from the album, Virga, features Darlingside, who’s music NPR describes as “exquisitely arranged, literary-minded baroque folk-pop” on vocals and experimental multi-instrumentalist Rich Ruth on synth. This song is the first I’ve ever released that includes lyrics. I hope y’all take a listen to it and let me know what you think!

New single, Dawning, out now on Nonesuch Records

My new single, Dawning, featuring Aoife O’Donovan, Kafari, and Nic Gareiss, is out NOW on Nonesuch Records. I’m so excited to announce the new song and my new relationship with Nonesuch Records.

Dawning has multiple meanings for me: the dawning of my professional music career and a new love in my personal life, the dawning sky that appeared when I first started writing this song, and me smiling to myself with dawning recognition that I get to create music that I love for a living and share it with the world. This song represents a major shift in how I approach my music and expands the possibilities of what my songs can be. Composing Dawning was a revelation for me in how significantly my life has changed in the last few years, both professionally and personally, and signing with Nonesuch Records exemplifies these changes in the best way possible. I’m super honored to be working with such an outstanding, well respected label and to join their exceptional artist roster. I’m equally grateful to Aoife O’Donovan, Kafari, and Nic Gareiss for contributing their talents to this song. Working with a label and artists of this caliber is extremely exciting and I can’t wait to share more music, and a new record, soon.
