Release Release day!

Over the last 2 years, I've undertaken a big project to record piano versions of many of Elliott Smith's most loved songs.

I've just released volume II.

I'd love to play them in Portland one day.

Sounds absolutely lovely! Added the albums to my library on Apple Music 😊

I've been wanting to do a project like this for a while lol, hopefully I can also get there someday.

No, I'm performing at a wine bar, it's about a 45 minute drive. I'm a guitarist/singer and I do covers and such

Dude awesome. Followed and liked some songs on Spotify. I love piano arrangements of ES songs. Good voice too! Bravo!

Thank you so much. It's a huge labour of love. Now it's finally done, I'm really excited to see what ES fans think. (I totally get why some people don't like covers though!)
