THE NOMAD
'The Nomad' was an very personal and raw experience for me. It came as a result of my marriage ending in January of 2015. After going on the road to tour ‘Broken Bones’ in February I then started work on new material. As much as it delves into the melancholy at times it does allow for that beautiful ‘silver lining’ that keeps us going in life. It was such a joy to collaborate with my old pal Joe Henry at ‘United Recording’ in LA. What an amazing and historic studio, and working with the musicians Joe invited in was a truly inspiring and uplifting process.

A big thank you to my old friend Joe Henry for producing this album with such love and consideration.
Thank you to Jay, Patrick, Adam, David, Levon and Ryan. I can’t ever forget the magic you & Joe created in the studio. Your sensitivity, musicality & grace enabled these songs to land as they should. And thank you to the Section Quartet Orchestra for elevating these recordings even further.
Thank you to my friend Matt Cameron for very generous lyric assistance, humor & general loving inspiration.
To my family & close friends - Thank you for your continued support through what has been a very challenging period of my life. I love you all very much.
And to JT, You’re a lifesaver. Your wisdom, however confronting always brings me closer to my true self. Thank you.
To Dave Cross, Erin Jameson, Ann Churchill Brown, Sally Long - Innes, Chris Andrews, David Weber, Howard Altman and Hector Rodriguez thank you for all your creative & career advice And especially a big loving thank you to Carice van Houten & our darling boy Monte, who’s arrival in our world came right in the middle of this record. You’ve both changed my life forever and for the better.
To Mum & Tracy - My music is always for you. And to Dad, I now understand the grief you endured being taken from us by that nomad flight was as profound as ours. I forgive you, I love you & I will always be your son.
In loving memory of
Andy Gillott & Curtis Hanson
