Courage by Mike Morrissey
Independently released. Initially recorded as single performances in Mike's apartment in Somerville in April and the first two weeks of May 2020 (Gifts is an exception and was recorded on 7/3/2019). Once the guitar and vocal performances were captured, Mike and Grant Bloom worked together remotely and Grant added additional instruments at his home studio in Boston. Mike recorded PJ Holaday on drums at their apartment in Somerville with Grant's remote assistance. Grant mixed it and Carter Sanders mastered it.
Dedicated to all of humanity and our collective struggles. Dedicated to those we have lost to the coronavirus, police brutality, systemic racism, gun violence, and climate change, and to those still fighting. I hope it gives you courage to try to make tomorrow better than today.
We are donating all sales on release day to Black Lives Matter Boston, ACLU, Everytown for Gun Safety, and the Environmental Defense Fund.
Thanks for checking it out! Much love, Mike
