Hearts & Scars (2018) - Digital Download

Hearts & Scars - Digital Album

Hearts & Scars is an 11-song collection about love, loss, loneliness, relationships, and the things we carry with us after the dust settles.

For this record, I wanted to get back to songwriting that felt honest - including the things that aren't always easy to put into words. Musically, the album pulls from soul, rock, R&B, Americana, and singer-songwriter influences, with a focus on real songs, live musicianship, and performances that feel human.

From the title track and the slow-burning Crazy to Hold On To Me At The End Of The Night, The Reason I Am, While I'm Still Standing, and Heart of Stone, the record moves through different sides of love and loss without trying to clean up the messy parts.

Originally released September 6, 2018.
