Saddened to hear the great Jimmy Cliff has passed away. His music has been a constant companion.

"She Waits for the Sunrise" is filled with spiraling vocal harmonies, anchored by acetone organ, buzzing sitar, and grooving bass. Vibe into the mesmerizing and surreal.
💜 This is our psychedelic symphony 💜

America's Child is a punk garage rocker off our new album. The lyrics were written by my dad in August 1977. We loved paying tribute to him and some of my guitar heroes like Johnny Thunders, Walter Lure, and the MC5 on this.

Over the Lily Pads is a wistful yet hopeful psych song. It features slide guitar, acetone organ, and piano. Background: I'd been listening to a lot of Syd Barrett and early Pink Floyd when writing it.
Hope you dig 💜💜💜

Challenging🍌 times. My sister is fighting a dangerous infection. One of our trees got hit by lightning which caused a power surge that fried music equipment and caught fire. The tree had to be cut down today 😪 But we're persevering & are looking toward Fri's album launch. Positive vibes ☮️☮️☮️
