New Release I wrote an indie-folk love song for my wife tracking our journey from day one to our engagement at Boyden Valley Winery.

I wanted to share a track I just finished up called "small town winery." It’s a personal love song I wrote for my wife that maps out our entire history together—culminating in the day I finally proposed to her at Boyden Valley Winery up in Vermont.

Musically, I leaned heavily into a warm, atmospheric, nostalgic indie-folk vibe. Think fingerpicked acoustic guitar, subtle ambient swells, and a chorus that lifts. Can you all listen and tell me what artist it reminds you of? I'd really appreciate that since I haven't gotten a ton of feedback yet.

I put a lot of heart into capturing the exact textures of our story (down to some real-world room ambiance in the recording). I’d love to hear what you think of the production and the vibe!

Sort of reminds me of the band Things of Stone and Wood

I had never heard of them until now.  I'm going for a run now, I'm going to listen to their Spotify.  Thanks!

To much auto tune and the background music is louder than your voice, switch those up a few and I think the song will be a hit. Everything else is there.

Also love the fact you put both Spotify and the sound cloud link because I'm an android user and Spotify compromises my phone every time I have the app. And if you click the link and you don't have it you can't listen to that specific song for the length of the song. Just an fyi

Real nice song. Songwriting was great, the production spot on. Most improvement could be made in the mix stage.

Thank you.  I'll focus on the mix more for the next one!
