Read Apricot Magazine’s detailed track-by-track review of my new record Red Sky Warning, out now: "His voice, as always, is a weapon of vulnerability. His work isn’t about mimicry or trend-chasing. It’s about excavating emotion and presenting it, unfiltered and unflinching.”

Once I got married and started a family, my life had its fair share of difficult decisions. I’ve always done my best, but invariably, I've sometimes felt less than certain I was making the right call. The same was true before, of course—I just didn’t have as much to lose.

Back in the mid-to-late 20-teens, I had already recorded a nearly complete version of Red Sky Warning. My producer Blake Morgan and I listened to these early takes together, and we both had the same reaction - the songs needed a completely different recording approach.

What an amazing time I’m having. With three recent singles out, my music is reaching its largest audience ever (by far). My new album arrives June 6, and I can’t wait.

I was driving through a blizzard in the dark one morning when “Ocean Of Hours,” the first single off my upcoming album "Red Sky Warning,” came to me. The messy weather resembled the rest of my life at that moment. All of the pressures I was experiencing, new and old, were swirling around me... 1/5
