While living in Nanaimo after Occupy was over I had a good place with some friends to record, and the drummer Aiden on several of these tracks is born blind. It was a time where I really grew up as a performer and came into my place on radio shows, TV with Canada’s Got Talent and photo shoots with professional photographers. Shortly after I released this the trip began back to the USA and eventually… Nashville. I really wanted to release these songs as a part of the reggae series I had been following over the last few albums, and these just were perfect for the coordination of what was happening at the time.
