“We wanted to create a very organic, intimate and bold album to best represent our lyrics, music and who we are as artists. We feel this record does that and more, as the songs are highly accessible with elements of the unexpected,” explains Raveis Kole. “Americana/Folk is evolving to become a powerful platform for this type of music, and we believe “Electric Blue Dandelion – Nashville Sessions” fits perfectly within this structure while remaining true to our vision of creating art in music”

“I have entered the track “Old Black Roller” in the category of Best American Roots Performance. This is the signature song from my album DUST BOWL – AMERICAN STORIES. It captures the horror of the devastating dust storms, aka “Black Rollers” that rolled across the great plains of the 1930s, leaving heartbreak and ruin in their wakes. In Jeff Silverman’s studio in Nashville, we spent more time on this song than any other two or three songs on the album combined, and you can hear it in the textures and layers that bring it to life.”

“This was my first time writing a full-length orchestral body of work, so it was three years in the making,” said Wakeley, who wrote, played piano and keyboard and co-produced the album. “You know something might have great potential but then you hear it for the first time being performed by an international, award-winning choir and orchestra, it becomes totally overwhelming. Then add iconic guest artists you grew up admiring, and the chance to perform it live for the first time in your home state, and it all makes ‘Midnight in Macedonia’ the greatest experience and achievement of my music career.”
