celebrating the release of ‘unerthed: hole erth unplugged’ from the serenity of big sur 🌏🔌✨excited to play these songs for everyone who’s coming out to 2 days of camping and music today and tomorrow.
the idea to begin this project came while listening to nirvana’s ‘mtv unplugged’ record. i love how the rearrangement brought out so many intricacies of their songwriting and gave context to the original recordings and the decisions made. during the recording of ‘hole erth’, the sonic palette was more aggressive and angsty than what most of my listeners were used to hearing from me, but I felt these songs were strong without any production. i wanted to be able to play them on guitar live. Folks were asking me for a full-length record of my ‘sandhills ep’, and i figured this could be the perfect opportunity for me to present something completely different conceptually.
americana has always been a major theme in my music. i asked myself what could be more edgy than rap-rock turned alt-country? hole erth and unerthed was meant to be a dual album from the beginning, the vision is complete. enjoy…
