My new record is here! In the past year I decided to record this for my dear friend and fellow artist in arms Alison Dilworth. She has become a momma and I wanted to make something for her that would bring her comfort and peace in a time of great change. Her partner and now proud poppa Jaron Olevsky is also a close friend and you may also know him as keyboardist in Amos Lee’s band. He collaborated with us for these recordings.
As much as this was a personal gift to someone, we very much made this with the intent of it being a record to share, one that anyone could be inspired by to enjoy with loved ones and embrace change with a sense of love and community. It will be the first recording to come from our home studio.
We decided to raise money for the Kellygreen Project, a project at the public school exactly halfway between my house and Ali and Jaron’s that is an effort to to find ways to transform the schoolyard into a true community asset, focused on children and their developmental needs. We hope you pledge not only to support our art but also our desire to give back to the kids in our immediate community of Philadelphia.
