Words have so much power. They start wars. Create lives. Start friendships. End relationships. Words are our history, and our future. Anything that matters is written about. I want to see it in writing. Our entire world, and whatever will happen to us, can be summed up with a few words. And with words, we write messages. And messages matter. From smoke signals, to sending ravens, to telegrams, postcards, emails, texts, or the late night phone call- messages matter.
Both the ones you send,
And the ones you don't send.
Our entire lives are shaped by messages. Our histories, our futures, our enemies, our loves. We write so many messages a day, without even noticing. Some end up in the waste bin. Some should end up in the waste bin. But others lead us down roads we couldn't have possibly imagined or ever dreamed of. And those are the ones that make us.

Years ago, I received a Facebook message that would change my life. It's funny how life does this, how something so minor can become monumental. I'm very blessed and thankful for this strange road we started down so many years ago, and it has been full of adventures. From tight bars in hoboken, through socially distanced walks, weddings, the terrible game of thrones ending, from festivals, to recording the vocals for WHOA in a church, to recording the piano on the exact same piano that I learned how to play on when I was 15(still blows my mind), and from the thousands of hours of conversations we've had, to everything we still have to do. So much time has passed and yet I feel like we are still at the beginning. So buckle up, bud- we've got more adventures ahead, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

And with that, we present to you, officially, our first EP the answer is love: part 1

Recording this EP has been full of notable experiences, but closest to my heart has to be the fact that the piano parts were recorded on the same piano that I LEARNED on. The universe works in strange and awesome ways sometimes, and I'm extremely grateful. I have have have to give the biggest shout out and thank you to , for all of his hard work and dedication. Without him, I would not be anywhere. So thank you Chris! I love you so much, and I'm excited to show the world what we've done, and what is coming next. Official EP release is Valentines day(aww) but we will be playing an EP pre-release show Saturday Feb 11th at in Hasborouck Heights. Hope to see you there!

Love always,
Rob
