Skeleton Keys Album

[color=#363636;]Skeleton Keys started out as what I'd like to call a "charity challenge." I offered to write personalized songs for friends about a topic of their choice if they gave to the charity of their choosing. I was able to get twelve friends to collaborate (Tristan, Chrissie, Tanner, Ronya, Sarah, Jason, Nylah, Milo, Valerie, Denise, Sam, and Shannon). I love writing personalized stuff, a way to create meaning for both myself and the person that I'm writing for. So the album has a lot of dynamics, I think. But the songs all fit well together and have similar production. I'm so thankful to Tristan Heles for the mixing and mastering, a first for both of us. All of the proceeds for the album will go to the charity MusiCares, which helps musicians in need, especially pertinent considering how the pandemic has affected musicians. These are all "Skeleton Keys", that might open your mind and heart to some semblance of hope and empowerment, as dark and as hard as life can get. Thanks for joining me and us on this ride![/color]
