there are so many people to thank that were a part of this creation is some way or another. one look at the credits at the end of the vid is a testament to that!
first off, huge thanks to everyone involved with writing and/or performing on the song:
@infinlife@jonrigatti@getst0ked@antondefade@pittsburghdrummer and Joel Grimes.
this song wouldn’t be possible without the maestro himself @davehidek and his impeccable ears. dave has a knack for always bringing out the best in the band in service of capturing the vision. to say i love working with him is an understatement.
we also made a music vid for this one! actually, i’m gonna call this one a film since that’s what it evolved into. i’ve been so lucky to work with many amazing people throughout the film scene in PGH over multiple music video productions and this time around was no different.
working with the writer, director, and producer of the film @maxwellcianci was a blessing. the film is truly his creation. he took a very loose idea and ran with it. both he and @r__dilullo killed it on this.
special thanks @thevandalpgh@spiritpgh and @dadspgh for your hospitality and all around general awesomeness throughout production!
finally, thanks to everyone involved with making the film from the cast to the crew. it was rad AF seeing so many people turn out as extras or to be involved in some capacity! they say it takes a village and sometimes it truly does! ❤️

here’s some BTS footage from the studio sessions for our forthcoming EP. 😊🎸🥁🎤
i love working in the studio a lot, but it has been a bit of an acquired taste over the years. it’s hard work and can be tedious at times.
every artist has different approaches to how they utilize the lab to approximate and capture a moment in time. that’s the beauty inherent in the tool i think.
i used to get pretty nervous before studio sessions. now it’s more about pacing and stamina. and the demoing process itself has really elevated to a higher role in preproduction so to speak. it’s a constant evolution and journey.
new EP drops in June! the first single, ‘Zero Hour’ drops next Tuesday, 3/17! 😎
