Welcome to the world little Benjamin! Our son was born September 18th and is thriving at home. Taking some time off from music at the moment to enjoy making memories with our family but I hope to be back on the scene soon. Thanks to all of you that reached out to check in on us.

A huge thanks to Diane from .photography for these adorable pics of our little one ❤ 💕
