New CD release from Eric Kerns, PEARLS, available April 1st 2017

This album is centered around songs we selected from some pesky unreleased tunes that had been following me around for years, songs and stories that tugged at my sleeves like wanton children and kept getting in my shoes like unwanted sand.

Like pearls forming around a tiny grain of sand, over time these songs became precious. I feel that these slowly cultivated recordings are what make this album so unique. If I listen closely, I can hear how musicians and songs developed over time, from the original core recordings through all the different layers of creative contributions that reshaped the songs as time passed by: A Collection of Pearls.
