Somehow I never outgrew the 80s.
My second collaboration with A Days Wait, “Empty Promises” is a bittersweet song about home, leaving, and the promises we make along the way.
It's available for download on Bandcamp along with our previous collaboration “New Souls,” plus instrumentals for both.

I grew up with anxiety, insomnia, and panic attacks, but years of meditation taught me how to make peace with my mind. This album is an instruction manual set to music, a collection of strategies for helping stay grounded and navigate troubled thoughts.
