This song was born out of a prompt from my wife Danny. I write a lot of “message” songs, but she challenged me to put more of myself into it. “Knocks” is the result of that, and I may have overshot.
“Knocks” is personal and raw, tapping into the sense of exhaustion that we all feel from the intensity of the past few years. It’s about how capitalism depletes our energy… and how we respond to it.
It features Andy Santospago on pedal steel guitar and other great musicians of the Boston area: Dave Brophy on drums & percussion, Joe McMahon on bass, and Peter Fernandez on keyboards.
Streaming on: Apple, YouTube, Pandora, Tidal, Amazon, Spotify, or Bandcamp
In January 2024, Spotify stopped paying anything to lower-tier independent artists like me. Please consider supporting my efforts through Bandcamp ($3) or Patreon ($5).
