On Friday November 6th, I’ll be officially releasing my newest EP “Spectral Acoustics Vol 1” on all streaming sites! In the meantime, today I released a video for the single “Leonard Cohen”. I’d love to know what you think!

On the night of Leonard Cohen's passing (Nov 7th 2016), I quickly wrote this song. "Leonard Cohen" is a contemplative finger picked ballad alluding to the songs and themes of his life. This tune was considered for 2017's TOPAZ, but didn't quite fit. A year later, I found myself at Rob Currie Recordings in Gravenhurst, and we tracked a few songs, including this one. I used a 1967 Arcangel Fernandez classical guitar, tracked live, only using a couple takes. I hope you enjoy it!
