“The Big Reveal”
Single

Keith and I co-wrote the lyrics together. This was inspired by my early experiences at Grateful Dead shows, finding how music can transform and expand your consciousness, allowing you to find your place in a bigger community. It was an aha moment and, to some degree, lead me to become a musician. -Kyle Hollingsworth
