about

Turning life's defeats, challenges and mistakes into universal lyrics was the goal in making Different Shades/Same Blue. Ranging from the blues of Couch Blues, the gospel touches of Feels Like Rain, the Parisian jazz styling of Things Are Starting To Look Up, to the country soul of Some Kind of Way this album finds it's cohesiveness through it's theme of exploring one's sadder moments.
