Pieces of the Sky

Country-rock interpretation. Crystalline vocals navigate grief and barroom stories over warm, pedal-steel-drenched arrangements.

It's the ultimate 'crying in your whiskey at sunset' record, but with a voice that sounds like an angel.

A dignified and crystalline exploration of grief and resilience set against a backdrop of 1970s country-rock.
