MINUSCULE MEMBER 2019 I 2023

I was looking for a new project at the time, I wanted a break from singing and writing my own journey. It started with a wish, then a nap, then I awoke to an invitation to sing "Tenor" in this surreal sort of band. This is truly one of the biggest honours of my human experience in this roll as a music maker. Led by the extraordinare Laurel Minnes, singing songs of such power where sometimes I feel as though I am flying on the stage.

Have a listen below. I sing tenor on Minuscule's first album, Great.

Since it's release we've had the honour to sing on a recording and open a couple shows for "Great Lake Swimmer's", and we opened for My Son the Hurricane". Playing together at the Red Rock Folk Festival in 2023 was also a beautiful memory.
