I just released my sixth album, Depth of Feel

[Stev]

My sixth album, Depth of Feel is now available on YouTube, iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, Deezer, and many other sites and apps.

The Depth of Feel album has 24 tracks. The first 12 tracks make up the Snowpeggio Suite. Each track in the Snowpeggio Suite describes the feelings of skiing different snow conditions. I’ll add some locations as examples of where I have experienced these conditions. The Snowpeggio Suite may be listened to in its entirety or as separate tracks.
The second part of the album starts with two vocal tracks followed by 10 instrumentals.
My creative friend Bret Hamilton has made beautiful artistic videos for 15 of the 24 tracks on the album including all of the Snowpeggio Suite. I’ll share links to these videos when they are available.
