about the album
This album is the culmination of my artistic ideas over the past few years. I set out to create an album that embodied who I am and defined my musical style. Although the album explores new and unique musical ideas, it’s foundation is firmly rooted in the bluegrass music I grew up listening to.
The title track “Further Down the Line” was the first song that I wrote for the album, and it set an underlying theme of change that the rest of the songs followed. These songs all have a story to tell—some joyful, some sad, and some in-between—but they all express what I’m feeling in this time of change in my life.
