Hope Rises
is an album of original material in development for 2026, a set of uplifting and hopeful songs for a brighter future. The project consists of:
studio recordings of new songs with long-time collaborators The Lonnings – Bex Mather (vocals), Brendan Murphy (percussion), Catherine Reding (violin, accordion) and Paul Susans (bass)
accompanying book of inspirational writing about the power of music making, taken from my recent publications, bringing my artistic and academic identities together.
