Fire & Steam is my debut album. It’s my first full length album of original songs, even though settled intention dropped a year before to the day. Both were joyous and laborious to write, perform, record, & produce. All songs were written over the past several years and recorded in 2019 & 2020.
Influences from Red Hot Chili Peppers to the Allman Brothers Band, from Jack Johnson to Dr Dre bring an eclectic mix of songs. Some classic rock meets grunge, a dash of folky hip hop, bountiful funk rock, ethereal guitars, bluesy soul, even a touch of jazz. Seemed like a good spot to start releasing my original works.
Leading up to the release, the What are the Odds eP was released Nov 11, 2019 followed by the Prepare Ourselves eP on Mar 21, 2020. Those ePs were remixed & remastered and included on Fire & Steam.
