Two new original rocksteady songs for you!

“Normal Day” and “New England (You’re the Best) Now Streaming

What is normal, anyway? Some of us just want a nine-to-five. Others cry at the thought. “Normal Day” has nothing to do with quarantine and lots to do with figuring out what you want out of life.

“New England” is our Americana-Rocksteady love letter to the northeast USA. We’ve traveled all over but we keep coming back. It’s not perfect, but it’s ours. In fact, it’s the best.
