(gentle music) I am a singer, songwriter, drummer, here in Pittsburgh.
My new album is called "Relic of a Rift."
It was written over the course of the first like year of quarantine.
The song I performed today with Ricky on cello was "A Glimmer of Gordon."
Yeah for this song I just wanted to write like hopefully a moving pop song about like an immersive VR experience that was gifted to someone who was in desperate need of like a soothing escape, fantasy realm of just borrow my moonlit beach.
It's like I've created a very specific sort of realm for you to be in that I know will like treat all of your ailments, your mental ailments and everything.
Borrow my like sandy feet, you can soak in the unique retreat.
So it's just like come on in, you know, I got you.
