Amy Overby Stripped down vocals and guitar with percussion are always my favorite. These songs, gently lyric and thoughtful, are also the perfect antidote to my too-fast mind and life.

about

These songs were all candidates for my 2021 EP "miles + minutes."

The first three tracks on this EP - Little Bird, Lead On The Page, and Build You A Box were the only ones Christian Andrews (Producer) chose to move forward with.

The next 2 tracks - This Could Be Our Night and The Other Life - appeared on my 2022 EP "Stories From The Other Life" produced by Nate2timez.

The final track - Put Me In The Dirt - is a favorite demo of mine, full of mistakes, bad mic technique issues, but a whole lot of heart, IMO. I haven't done a finished recording of this song yet, but maybe someday...

All of these demos were made at home, using Garage Band on my iPhone, and possibly on a desktop version. Except Build You A Box, which was recorded in a single take at Christian Andrew's old house in St. Paul and This Could Be Our Night, which was recorded also in a single take during the tracking sessions for 2019's Losing Things album.

These songs expose my working process, and the breadth of my imagination, when it comes to what a song could sound like. I hope you enjoy the glimpse inside my noodle!

Cheers and be kind to one another,
Mark
