We kicked off our last #concert with a promise: We donât use #AI to create our #songs. We then went on to have an extreme crisis of confidence while making that proclamationâŚ
Find out if we decide to maintain our #artisticintegrity when you watch the full song on YouTube, just search âtwo little letters AI songâ or something like that, the machines will figure it out.

Dylan Saunders and Lana McKissack brought the POWER on this one. Full recording on YouTube.
âIn the Dark With Himâ originally appeared in episode 4 of our docu-style #musical #podcast âIn Strange Woods,â created by Jeff Luppino-Esposito, Brett Ryback, and Matt Sav.
After you listen to Dylan and Lanaâs take on this number, head over to your music streaming platform of choice to listen to Brett Ryback and Tony winner Beth Leavel sing it on the pod or the cast album.
Then, after that, try going outside and getting off your phone for once. Ever think of that? Wow.

Thrilled to finally announce that @btryback and I are adapting Carl Saganâs legendary novel CONTACT into an epic musical.
And this summer, weâre so honored to be apart of @dramaclubprod summer camp writing residency, where weâll continue development among a stacked house of talented creators.
This piece thrills us, challenges us, and yes âŚWEâRE OKAY TO GO!!!
As we head off to @namt_org next week (!!), it seemed like a good time to figure out whatâs going on in the music of âLove Is Dead.â
So hereâs the first installment of a series where lyricist @jeffluppinoesposito ambushes composer @btryback with the big questions like âso why it sound like this?â And âcan you please slow down and clarify what âtertiaryâ means, bro?â
Thanks to @thejennap for beautifully singing this song at our recent concert (you can find her full performance of it on YouTube if you search âJenna Pastuszek - How to Sell Loveâ) â I find it helps to have heard the 3-minute song at least once before listening to the 3-minute breakdown of the first 10 seconds of the song.

You know that funny-sad song in a #musical comedy where the character reveals (often unknowingly) what theyâve really been feeling? Well thatâs this song in our show!
