“Kew Gardens Troubadour” coming out on December 9th 2025 is my very first album, and I’m very excited to share it with you. These songs are sort of a musical diary, reflecting who I am— some from the quiet corners of life, some from the tougher stretches, and some from the stories that have stuck with me no matter how much time has passed.

The music leans into the folk and acoustic roots I’ve always been drawn to, with a little of that wandering, reflective spirit I grew up on. I just tried to write these songs as honestly as I could, melody first and heart close behind.
I’m grateful to finally let them out into the world, and I hope they meet you wherever you are.

00:00But it's so dark they shut out the light
00:07Can you feel the pain that's beyond the walls
00:19Of your ivory tower waiting for the next you fall
00:28How do you sleep at night?
00:35With God's eyes watching you
00:43Give me fresh tomatoes off of the vine
00:49Nothing quite tastes like them sweeter than wine
00:55I've been known to think and dream about them
01:02Tastes of sweet and fresh like original sin
01:10So beautiful, you taste like a dream
01:15Don't sing love songs you wake my darling
01:30She lies so still in shadowed light
01:37Her mother warned that men ring sorrow
01:42So now she guards her dreams at night
01:47Her mother's right hand holds a silver dagger
01:54Her mother's right
01:59Like a whirlwind
02:01Over the ocean
02:03Sparks fly
02:07Flames higher
02:09Minds clash
02:13Minds clash
02:16With desire
02:20It's on you
02:23On me
02:26It's on fire
02:27As I was going over the Cog in Kerry mountains
02:42I met with Captain Ferrell
02:44I met with Captain Ferrell
02:45And the money he was counting
02:49I first produced my pistol
02:51And then produced my data
02:54Say and stammer and deliver
02:57For you are a whole deceiver
03:00I dreamt of old fortune
03:03I dreamt of old fortune
03:05But the devil came to stay
03:08There's whiskey in the jar my friend
03:11And it took my life that day
03:14I can not see the forest
03:30But the trees it seems
03:32We traveled too far
03:34To the edge of the ocean
03:37We had fallen off and lost our way
03:41The seasons change
03:44And I can see once more
03:46As we moved ahead
03:48We've shot this door
03:56At this lower his shoulders
03:58As he shrugged us off
04:00And he turned away
04:11Here you know what a vision you are
04:18And your love for life can never be undone
04:23All my cares for life have fallen by the wayside
04:28And new memories with you have just begun
04:33Oh you always had a fascinating perspective
04:38With words and thoughts I never could ignore
04:43My composure's gone
04:45My soul lies unprotected
04:48I thought I knew my life
04:51But you truly gave me more
04:53You know I cannot see the light
05:04The darkness calls and I'm ignoring
05:10The restless thoughts I cannot fight
05:15Cannot give in to voices calling
05:21Silent shadows
05:24Silent shadows
05:25They slip away
05:28And I
05:31Slowly get in
05:34As darkness falls
05:43You know I cannot see the way
05:46It feels too much like I'm in mourning
05:51The shades of
05:53The shades of
06:00I go wherever the wind blows
06:03And the wind is blowing in your direction
06:19The wind is blowing in your direction I'll go wherever you go
06:31Why don't you give me some affection?
06:40When I see you I'm seeing the sunrise When I see your face
06:48I'm seeing the glory Why don't you sway in my direction
06:59Let this lovely vision tell my story
07:18Let this lovely vision tell my story
07:29We hear the words of the light
07:31When I see my eyes
07:33When I see your eyes
07:35When I see my eyes
07:37I see my eyes
07:38I see my eyes
07:40And I see my eyes
