Thank you to everyone involved in making the album - all the players in present and past incarnations of Strawberry Runners, who helped shape these songs and motivated me to keep playing, writing, and recording despite myriad mishaps and boundless uncertainty: Jacob, Brennan, Steven, Chris, Eli, Tomas, David, and Olivia. Thank you to Rachel, Marco, and Nathan for your patience and dedication and for making sure this album found a place in the world, to Oliver, Otto, and Cole for your invaluable support, inspiration, and feedback through the years of incubation and creation. Thank you to everyone at the Sugar Shack (RIP) for tolerating incessant band practices. Thank you to the sweetest friends in Denver who always came to our shows and listened and danced and sang along with us! I am lucky to have had the opportunity to be surrounded by such a talented, hard-working, patient, and generous community while bringing this project to fruition. It’s been a long time coming!
Thank you to my dad for sharing his life and love with us and to my mom and my brothers for teaching me to meet difficulty with strength, compassion, wisdom, creativity, curiosity, and if all else fails, a sense of humor.
