I am nervously excited to tell you that A Dawning is finally out in the world!

These songs tell the story of a beautiful friendship in its entirety and throughout everything we went through they became a place of solace, a reason to meet, a place to pour our grief into. It is a celebration of life & the time we shared together - as friends & as a community.

Thank you to everyone who helped make A Dawning a reality. Our friends, family, collaborators and everyone who held us through this process. This would not have been possible without you. I hope I’ve done you proud brother 🤍
