Here is my first stab at an EVR show. I wanted it to be a “Fall Show,” all breezy, blustery kinda songs — it’s mostly gentle rock and folk, then gets a bit ambient-y/bleak towards the end (winter’s comin’!). I’m kicking myself hard for not including some Benoit Pioulard now, since I’ve been listening to Temper pretty much nonstop and love love loving it.

In any case, you can download here, or if you wanna subscribe to the 17 Dots podcast, head here.

    Micah, it warms my heart to hear that — I quite often wonder if anyone anywhere had quite the reaction I do to that song. Definitely a personal all-time favorite for me as well.
