Artist Statement | from Neil Welch

“Sacramento-based guitarist Ross Hammond and I have collaborated on two new tracks while in quarantine. Ross and I met years ago on my first tour down the coast. Since then we have grown to become friends and collaborators, working together in one form or another at least once a year. A few days ago Ross sent me two tracks with a simple prompt--"do your thing." That's trust right there.

I am always inspired by Ross' musicianship. He is a deep player, and one of the strongest examples I have of an artist that goes goes goes no matter what. He is also one of the kindest people I know, which makes creating music with him very important to me. From start to finish these tracks were wrapped up in 3 days. I hope you dig them.”
