(From Facebook) My song Soliloquy is inching towards 10 million plays on Spotify and I wanted to mark the occasion with a new video…To create something and put it out into the world and connect with a single person is a miracle. There are a lot of great artists out there that haven’t gotten the exposure they deserve because the right opportunities never came their way. I’ve had some amazing opportunities and I’m deeply grateful to each and every person that made the decision to give me and my music a chance 🙏 Filmed last summer on Cape Cod, MA and performed on a guitar I built, using a Fishman pickup with the Tonewood-Amp (See complete Facebook post at https://www.facebook.com/1158717997/videos/890614648841778/)
