Yes, I really do sing with a barbershop quartet. Don’t hate, it’s amazingly sweet-sounding music!

Trading Favors
“Always Something Beautiful”
“Breaking Glass”
“No One”
My latest studio record, these songs were recorded live, then mixed and mastered on Pro Tools hardware using a selection of outboard gear and dsp processing. I personally love the sitar parts, which I overdubbed in a few sessions of greater inspiration.
