AMERICANA HIGHWAYS
Genre: Folk
"...In making the video for [“Water To The Well”] it was really important to me to capture the people I made this record with, who’ve been on this journey with me, IN the space where we worked on the songs, practiced, recorded, mixed, reviewed, and celebrated their completion and first launched them into the world,” shares Connor. “There are a lot of ways to make a video but to me this captured who made the music and keeps the song as the central part of this experience.” “Water To The Well” captures the experience and journey of trying to help, heal and progress through the complexity of depression and self-antagonism...."
