about

Apples & Bears is a 5-song EP of lullabies made for my niece, Morgan Mary. Living on opposite coasts, I wanted a way for Morgan to know my voice so that on our first visit and beyond, there would be a bond of familiarity between us already. In these songs, I played with harmonies and delicate repetition, two things that help lull me into a sense of contentedness and rest.

The title comes from the painting upon which the prayer from track 5 was written: a brown teddy bear sat next to a basket full of red apples. At the end of the prayer, my sisters and I would say, “Amen. Apples and bears, Amen. Two Amens.” Kids are funny like that. This EP was written and produced in my bedroom during the month of March 2020. Morgan Mary was born on the 1st of April 2020.
