Moon Flower by Sapphires Garden

This is by far the most effort I’ve ever poured into four songs in my life.

The time, the money—it's honestly beyond measure at this point. But that’s not really the point.

This album has been a test. Of faith, of passion, of career. I gave everything I had to make it real. From working with absolute dream-level musicians, to going through 32+ mix revisions for just a handful of tracks—every moment of this process has been intentional.

Every song has been shaped by pain, blood, joy, rage, happiness—every raw and real emotion I could put into it.

This project has always been about the music. Nothing else.

I want to give a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who helped bring this album to life. It truly means the world to me. I could die happy with this one.

Michael League – Thank you, and thank you again. To you and your management: your patience, kindness, grace, and understanding as I fought to get this project off the ground meant more than I can say. Your presence on this record is one of the biggest honors of my life. Having one of my musical heroes contribute was surreal—and your bass parts shaped the compositions in such a deep way. It was a life and music lesson rolled into one. I learned what kind of patience and grace it takes to truly make it in this industry. Hope to play in real life one day, sensei.

Bob Lanzetti – One of my first guitar teachers and truly like my Yoda. Thank you for always seeing something in my playing, sound, and vision—even back when it was just a spark. You never questioned it. You only showed me the way of light and love through music. Getting to record with you was a dream come true. Hearing how many layers and how much heart you put into these tracks taught me so much. You are the Parts Master!!!

Nathaniel Townsley – Thank you for blessing these tunes with your feel. Your time and touch brought a groove and swing to the album that can’t be faked. I grew up watching you on records and videos, and now I got to hear you bring these songs to life. Just listening to your approach was a masterclass. The quarter note is strong with this one!

Zach Rich – Thank you for helping me lift this project off the ground back in the early days. It meant everything to have your help making some solid recordings so we could start getting gigs. When things started picking up and I had the chance to bring in some dream players, you were the first cat I wanted to call. Thank you for believing in it from the start.

To everyone who helped bring this album into existence: thank you. This was more than a record. It was a spiritual test, a passion project, and a leap of faith. Truly, it was a blessing.
