"I’m really excited to go on tour this fall and release this new EP, Back To Home. It was supposed to be 5 songs, and it turned into 7. I love the songs so much. All of them are so different. I don’t even know if they are “good” or not, but they sound good to me. Some of them make me dance in my seat, others give me goosebumps. In a way its very full circle for me, because the first kind of album I made when I was starting out was a 7 song EP, called The Love EP."
