Assassins EP

I hope you'll take the time to give The Revelators' new EP a listen. Even more, I hope you'll download it! The Assassins EP is the fantastic new release from Ron Freeman and the Revelators. I had the privilege of singing backup vocals for this project.

Each song on the album is a love song from the perspective of each of our four successful presidential assassins. You will not be let down by Ron's storytelling. The warm, melodic arrangements beg for multiple listens as you delve into each beautiful layer of instrumentation.

I Celebrated With Bubble Tea

When I brought Emily my idea for a new project, she didn't tell me I was crazy. A couple weeks in I wished she had: what was I thinking attempting to recreate such a masterful rendition? Three months later, I'm driving home proud with a huge accomplishment under my belt. The funny thing is no one else knows about it. Week after week it was just the two of us in a tiny, sweaty room, half of them I with my head against the wall (literally and figuratively). I've studied under other instructors, and that was as far I've ever gotten - frustration - but today is different. Today I can sing anything I want because I can sing just one song. Today I'm not bound to flip at A or A#. Today I can restrain my vibrato long enough to tell you a story. I only wish I had a stage and backup.

So that's my next musical endeavor: learning Eva Cassidy's "Wayfaring Stranger" on piano.
