Ξ ROAM duo DEBUT ALBUM UPDATE Ξ

Alex and I have completed the live-off-the-floor bedtracks of piano, cello & sax and have been overdubbing our vocals, and adding a few special guests. It’s been a blessing to work so intimately here in the same studio where we rehearse and write. And to record an album on my childhood baby grand piano has just added to the personal nature of the project. I think you’ll hear that in the tracks: intimate and international! We’re doing one cover, which is a surprising version of Talk Talk’s “Life’s What You Make It”. We anticipate completion by late August. The album remains untitled as of yet.

TORONTO ALBUM LAUNCH CONCERT: Thursday, October 30th @ Heliconian Hall in Yorkville area. Watch live shows page.

There will be regional Ontario / Quebec shows through the Fall. dates TBA.
