NEW SINGLE out in one week! š¼š„
Remember when I said I had another one? š„³
āCaptain of the Enterpriseā has been one of my favorite songs of mine since it came to life in early 2017. Iāve always been incredibly proud of the lyrics, and though I like the whimsical simplicity of the chords, I always knew the musical landscape of the song could be so much bigger than my humble ukulele could provide.
This past winter, between my Rockwood and Berlin Under A shows, Cap grew into the jazzy, funky party Iād always dreamed of, thanks to the stylings of Pat Oberstaedt, AJ Hubbard, and Clay Matthews. I knew I wanted it to be the second song I produce, but I wasnāt sure it was single-worthy until Pat took on the project as producer and multi-instrumentalist and absolutely exploded it with joy and life and whimsy and an intricately rambunctious ensemble of instruments. Polished off with mastering by Mike Parisi, āCaptain of the Enterpriseā has reached its final form and will be on all streaming platforms on May 20th.
