HOPE AND THE SINNER

Thrilled to share this latest update on my album project! This is the original album artwork by the extraordinarily talented local artist Ava Hardy! She basically listened to the unmixed tunes and created these seriously moving pieces based on the themes she heard. I was absolutely blown away by how close to my vision she came. What a marvel. THANK YOU AVA!

And for good measure – here’s the back cover.

….and finally, here’s the mixed but not mastered cut “Purpose” featuring the masterful guitar work of Neil Chapman!

PURPOSE, from the upcoming album HOPE AND THE SINNER

“Hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency. Hope should shove you out the door, because it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, from the annihilation of the earth’s treasures and the grinding down of the poor and marginal… To hope is to give yourself to the future – and that commitment to the future is what makes the present inhabitable” ~Rebecca Solnit
