I am a man with a family who lives in a town by a beach. At a young age, in the midst of some unpleasantness, I moved here, and for the first time felt like I was home. People often come to California because there are some things they would rather not go through in the cold. I suppose that’s how I ended up here too. I refer to this album as my land of Upside Down Flowers. In many way’s it’s a mirror to my world, an uncanny reflection but not quite the real thing. The songs held within it’s borders are about friends and loved ones, both real and imagined. The edges are blurred now it seems, but the sentiment remains. I didn’t write these songs to change the world, but they helped me to understand mine a little better. Of course I didn’t realize it at the time, but I guess that is the beauty of letting go. Self reflection can be painful, it can be blinding and it can be transformative. For me, the creation of this album was a little bit of all three. Enjoy https://fanlink.to/upsidedownflowers There's a lot to celebrate today, and we're getting all kicked off with the new video for "Paper Rain" https://youtu.be/_BEw3N-AH6s

Spotted my new jam "Paper Rain" up on Spotify's New Music Friday! https://spoti.fi/2qDG4a8

I’ve always been drawn to a good underdog story. Maybe it’s because at times I’ve seen a piece myself in those stories, or maybe it’s because I’m moved by the image of someone who struggles but does so with grit and the potential to prevail against great odds. Maybe it’s a little bit of both. Either way, Paper Rain is one of those stories. The story of a debt stacking up so high that it seems the only way out is play one last hand. To win it all back and start clean. It might sound foolish but when there’s so little left to lose, would you rather go quietly or go down swinging? Ladies and gentleman, Paper Rain. Stream & download the song https://fanlink.to/paperrain + pre-order Upside Down Flowers (out next Friday, 11/16!) https://fanlink.to/upsidedownflowers

I’m no stranger to the subject of escapism. The desire to run when things get difficult is hardwired into my DNA. These days I’m better at tempering the worst effects of that instinct, but the thought is alive and well in the song Blue Vacation. Running...It’s a temporary fix and the things we run from tend to find us in the end. But doesn’t it sound nice sometimes; The thought of putting it all down for a minute, grabbing the people you love and finding a beach somewhere? A place you’re safe from the drip feed dramas of the day. If you’ve ever had that feeling, this song is for you. Escape with the video for "Blue Vacation" https://youtu.be/-ySLoP7wk-M stream/download the song https://fanlink.to/bluevacation + pre-order Upside Down Flowers (out 11/16) https://fanlink.to/upsidedownflowers
