🌸Flowers Wild Abound🌸 out September 12th

This is the first album I’ve made with the harp at its center. These songs speak in the language of wildflowers, living in quiet spaces and offered in the simple hope of beauty.

This was a labor of love shaped over many years. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who walked alongside me during the process, especially Sarah Pagé, who co-produced the album with me and helped throughout every step with patience, generosity, and presence.

I got my first harp in the fall of 2019, after dreaming of the instrument for ages. Two years later, I began making this album, having fully fallen for the harp’s voice. I wrote with a kind of urgency I hadn’t felt in a long while. I finished old songs, reworked forgotten fragments, and discovered new ones as I leaned into the instrument and let it lead. It was a balm, steeping in the wilderness within its strings. 

I’m excited to share more in the coming weeks
