The Story:
AMERICA IS LONELY TONIGHT was my 11th release and I rediscovered the piano. My personal life maintained its shakiness but I found comfort and inspiration in the music of Emmylou Harris. You can hear shades of her twang.
Many of these songs are frank explorations of gay internet hookups. There's self-hatred and confusion in these songs. And also wistful childhood recollections.
At the time I was still fresh in Tampa. I invited in some of the area's best local artists to share these songs with me.
