Threefold blends raw emotion, gritty melodies, and cinematic storytelling into indie rock that’s equal parts haunting and hopeful. Led by singer/songwriter Philip Stephen in collaboration with Buffalo music scene veterans Sara Elizabeth, Marc Thomas, Tom Varco, and Kevin Sampson, this supergroup is crafting songs that hit like confessions and linger like late-night conversations.

Good Neighbors Volume 5
Volumes 1-4 each had different lessons to teach me. I learned how to overcome perfectionism and mistakes, learned how to grow gracefully from within, how to forgive to the point of acceptance, how to weather through storms, and how to begin to heal myself and my inner child.
Year five was the year of finding the fun in writing music. This year, I dug deep into the concept and the common goal and ended up having an absolute blast brainstorming our puzzle piece that fit the Hero's Journey, which was "The Supernatural Aid". Writing around the imagery of what we came up with was an insanely fun challenge.
Our hero is burnt out from the industry, wanting to quit and is ultimately met with his "fire fairy" to ignite his "Spark" and inspire him to realize the world needs his art right now.
Being at the release party with Marc, we were both beaming with a sense of accomplishment and shared a true unspoken moment of feeling very proud of each other. We already had a lot of mutual respect after being friends for years, but this took that respect to a whole new level and I'm so grateful to have worked with him.
Big thanks to the other two Marcs in the room with us, @reg_lecrisp for being the engineer extraordinaire
And especially @marcus_ryan_msn for absolutely nailing the multiple drum grooves we chaotically threw at him!
Thank you once again to everyone else involved and I'm so happy and honored to celebrate this with all of you!
