'Labrador' is an album I began working on in late 2012. I started composing simple folk inspired melodies, singing and playing guitar, as a fun escape from the more electronic centered music I had been heavily involved in at the time. The first recording sessions started in the summer of 2013, at a family cabin in the Northeast Kingdom, Vermont. I stayed there alone for 2 weeks with a small studio setup and a few guitars. I recorded the first 4 songs that would come to make up 'Labrador' on that trip. It started out as a sort of musical diary for myself and some close friends I shared it with, I didn't have much of an aspiration to release the work initially. I found myself returning to Vermont every summer for a get-away and the inspiration to record and write more songs in this fashion grew. With the help and guidance from some very dear friends, I slowly pulled and pieced together these songs into a body of work that I felt needed to be shared.
