Help Bring This Healing Album to Life
Donation protected
I am recording my first non-children's album since my 2013 release Greyhound Bus Tour, and have enlisted the incredible musical support of my band, The Community Gardeners (Jenny Jones, Lesley-Anne Stone, Billy King, John Driscoll, Chris Good, and Mark Stone), as well as contributions from several guest gardeners (Born I, Peace Be Free, Glen Michael Blair, Chris DiMeglio, and my wonderful parents, David and Mary Jo Reilly).
We recorded the foundational tracks at Billy's family farm, Frog Holler, with engineer Ian Gorman, the week leading up to the Summer Solstice. The album includes 15 original songs, including the title track Learn to Love Again. The songs are an expression of my spiritual practice and my journey of healing and transformation, and help water seeds of love, compassion, and understanding in listeners.
We just completed all overdub sessions earlier this month. The musicianship in the instrumentation from John, Billy, Chris and Chris, Glen, and David, along with the amazing vocal harmonies created by Jenny, John, Mary Jo, and Lesley-Anne, and the lyrical contributions from Peace Be Free and Born I, bring the songs to another level; deep, loving, spacious, head-bumping, soul nourishing, healing and feeling. This is a special collection of music that needs to be heard!
We have funded the recording up to this point through the generous donations of friends, families, and supporters, and need to widen that circle in order to complete post production and release the album. Eternal gratitude to those who are able to make a donation of any amount. All donors will be sent a digital download of the album prior to its public release.
With deep gratitude for your support and generosity,
