I am glad that this album came your way. I wrote these songs to conserve the beauty of nature and togetherness. I sing to give a voice to those who remain in silence and need to be heard. In times of loneliness, despair and our environmental crisis these songs help me to remember the beauty which lies within being creative and sharing. Without my band it would have never been possible to record this album, thank you so much for your support and contribution in my music. Let's keep shining our lights to fight darkness. With each CD sold I will plant a tree via trilliontreecampaign.org.
