Make Believe is out. Here for your ears, hearts and minds — a single narrative
in 9 songs.
This album follows a relationship from start to finish; meeting someone new, getting to know them, falling in love, experiencing life together, and eventually growing apart, ending with the peace of knowing it all happened the way it was supposed to, and we are better because of it. We highly recommend listening to this album from top to bottom with this intended purpose.
I had lyrical help from Gaje Garrett as always. Eddie Esler as well, for track one. Poets.
Musical direction from every member of TCC, leaning heavy on Jordan Tyler Haynes as always.
The combination of groove and possibility, with the combination of Taylor Barringer & Casey Johns creating together drives everything that Ivy Byram’s piano is grounding.
Vocal help from Ivy Byram & Jordan Tyler Haynes as always. Their coaching from behind the glass makes me feel like Tyson in the ring.
I want to thank our manager, Brandon Fulton, for guiding us and supporting us in more ways than we could ever count.
Another massive thank you to Dave and Jamie at Yellow Dog Studios. Your kind spirits and encouraging truths made this album what it is today.
