This Venture Out album was recorded as a personal triumph as I went through the year long process of healing after breaking my left hand over 2 decades ago.
It's also a musical reminder that I hope inspires others to overcome challenges or create a compelling path.
There is power in making a CHOICE outside of what looks to be the predictable future.
