NEWS! I just received a box of
@dgsolaris - Tellisford Loop vinyl records yesterday!
I had a listening party with myself last night, and read through all of the lyrics. The album feels like an honest and clear portrait of this stage of life: running down to the river each morning and completing the loop at Tellisford, Somerset, turning 40, family becoming the centre, the struggle to keep the warmth and love and creative fire alive, parents moving into a new phase and my own children blowing my ego apart in the most beautiful way possible. I hope somewhere along the way, it resonates with you. It has been described as “self-aware, post-dad rock”. Nail on head?
I made this album on Tuesdays during 2024, an often quite solitary pursuit but also employing the many talents of Leana Green,

It was partially funded by friends through a crowdfunding campaign. And now you can do me the ultimate service and simply order a copy on vinyl and cd via my Bandcamp (link in bio!) and I shall post them out as soon as I get a spare moment. The album will be fully out on streaming early next year via the lovely folks at
@grooverobsessions , but many of the songs have been released already.
So please, buy your copy today! It is a thing of beauty. Certainly it is the best thing I could make for you right now. I send it out into the world with a heart full of love and gratitude.
We will be celebrating this release at a London & Friends show at
@greennotemusic on October 2nd and in Frome
@nightriverpresents on November 13th. Come join us!
