Conversations We Never Had
Listen to the band describe their experience creating this new album on a recent episode of “The Bobcast”, on iHeart radio (or web) or on Spotify.
In the summer of 2020, Shades of Green began developing an upcoming album of all-original music, spanning styles from traditional to the modern. Inspiration for the songs came from a book of poetry, Conversations We Never Had, written by Pat and his father.
At this point, the band has recorded demos for nearly all of the dozen album tracks, all recorded –as circumstances required– individually and mixed collaboratively. We hope you enjoy this preview of the upcoming album!
