about

Lifeboat: Explorations in Pedal Steel was composed and recorded at home in the first couple weeks of the quarantine in March 2020 and was my way of dealing with the feelings of isolation and loss that I was going through. Influenced by the music of Daniel Lanois, Greg Leisz, Jerry Garcia, Bill Frissell and Jim O-Rourke, hopefully these sketches and soundscapes will bring some calm and peace to you as well.
