So excited to share this artwork.

The Holidays, much like all of 2020 will feel a bit different this year, which calls for a very different kind of album. I'm thrilled to share the cover art for "This Time of Year," available November, 13th. Mark your calendars to download, enjoy and hopefully find similar comfort in the unique track list that truly speaks to this moment in a way I hope will resonate with each of you.
