It happened on Feb 22nd 2005!
And so today it’s 20 years ago, that I released my first album, Before The Crossing! ✨🎶💿🎉🍾🥂
Today also marks the birth and first day of my Bandcamp Artist page!
I’ve just uploaded my debut album there, the first out of my five albums including lyrics. It is available for streaming and digital download today. CD purchase will be available soon. More of my albums will be uploaded and accessible also in the coming weeks.
Here is the link: https://lillyhertzman.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-crossing
The album, Before The Crossing, is a versatile collection of 12 songs that were inspired by among others music by Daniel Lanois, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, Milton Nasciemento, Joao Bosco, The Cardigans, Ron Sexsmith, Emmy Lou Harris and many others.
I am grateful to have worked with such a talented and great lineup of people in the creation of my debut album (see personell info below). A huge thank you again to all of them!
I am also really happy to hear and remember the creativity of and openness in the creation of the Production shine through in many and various ways.
And after 20 years I am also happy to be able to say, that I am proud of having written these songs. I feel that several of them have both a timeless quality about them with lyrics that I would like to interpret and play again, since I find them maybe even more relevant in these turbulent and trying times we live in today.
Please feel free to have a listen on Bandcamp and to follow me there too! Even though the album is also available on most of other streaming platforms.
But, Bandcamp is a fanbased community and a way to support artists directly and much more fairly than all other streaming services. You can also discover music that you might not do elsewhere.
If you have a listen, then I hope you’ll enjoy it!
Love & peace,
Lilly
