Hugo Wolf - Ach, wie lang die Seele schlummert

Hugo Wolf’s Ach, wie lang die Seele schlummert is one of my favourite pieces I’ve sung. It comes from the sacred lieder portion of his Spanisches Liederbuch. This song is about accepting your pain and making something of it - “Now, its the time you YOURSELF encourage,” that text gets me everytime.

Una furtiva lagrima - G. Donizetti

THE tenor classic, my back pocket aria. This bel canto staple is a favourite in my repertoire. Nermorino is a true romantic; finding love in Adina's vulnerability is something I think we all can hope for. Our tears are uniquely capable of disolving us into our true selves.

FLY AWAY is about sitting with your pain and honouring your feelings. You can't snap your fingers... but with the right intention you can fly away someday soon. Also, I rap in this one ;)

Cypress Tree is about best friendship. I wrote it after a summer weekend at Victoria Beach where I felt true friendship for the first time. It reminds me of the great memories I have with loved ones and I hope it does for you too!

What A Time is about moving on and learning to let go. It reminds us that life is always happier if you feel those feelings! This song is the sunshine of summer turning into fall and always makes me smile and reminds me that you can ALWAYS count on yourself.
