It seemed like a good time to build some community. God knows I needed some. So I started building. But now my band and I wanted to invite you to join us, so we made you ""Slow Cooker""- a humble invitation to gather 'round some songs and be present just like the friends who made it. Maybe stick around for a minute and get to know the place. Most of Slow Cooker was recorded live after hours, in a circle, all together in the magical upstairs room of our favorite music club. We shined up what needed shining, and left the edges where they pleased us. We made it on purpose, and together. Our friendship and connection to one another as well as where that energy joined the music was the most important and deliberate compass point we came back to over and over when making this record. That's the stuff that weaves the songs together and inhabits the stories. Where we're from is important too. The album cover shows us in the room where the songs were recorded, and where we've performed our three-year running series the album is named after. It's where we began, and it's where all our friends, fellow musicians and neighbors gather to have some food and drink and enjoy one another. We hope these songs lead to more of that. Maybe even with you?
