Production for this record began in January 2020, and quickly ground to a halt. Finding ways to continue this project over the next couple of years required an incredible amount of graciousness, love and open-heartedness on the parts of everyone involved. I am so grateful to the amazing performers, many of whom agreed to record themselves from living rooms, offices and make-shift home studios, and who welcomed this music into their worlds in the midst of such deeply uncertain times. I’m incredibly grateful to Christopher Botta, who worked with true patience and generosity of spirit in beautifully stitching it all together, and who breathed life into these tracks. I am so grateful to David Peters of Oak House Recording for his continuously gorgeous work and for mastering these tracks, and to Titilayo Ayangade for taking such absolutely luminous photographs. So many of the folks on this record are dear friends and colleagues who have supported my creative journey in indefinably meaningful ways over the last decade. and I am so thankful to everyone who leant their artistry, encouragement, support and good faith to this music.
Especially special thanks to: my parents Lon and DeeDee, Harben and Ryan, Nicole, Sonya (angel cherub mother of Polenta), Teagan, Liz, and Jess for their immeasurable love and support over the long years that it took to make this record.
