[img]541|left|Carter Dewberry||no_popup[/img]After years of trying on different labels, I have finally realized that the form of my music (style, genre) is less important to me than the feelings it evokes in listeners.
In the last four months, I have climbed peaks, meditated for days in solitude, wept in the shadows of grief and uncertainty, and danced in appreciation of the infinite beauty contained in a spectacular meal, gorgeous flower, or adoring gaze from my partner.
In each of these (as with all) experiences, I focus on feeling what comes to the surface as well as what lies beneath, whether it be beautiful or terrifying. For when I allow myself to feel unconditionally, I accept myself unconditionally.
This is the first step towards living in my utmost joy, which is connection – to myself, nature, and my family, friends and community.
Now that I have spent months alone translating these feelings into music, it is time to re-establish my connection with the world. As such, I need your help.
I want to know how these moments, exposed through my music as catchy riffs, mournful laments and passionate tangos, MOVE YOU.
Please join me as I share the beauty of this journey on Jan. 16. And afterwards, please dare to share with me your feelings, the good and the ugly.
I am here to listen.
