The Dreamer by Brother Hawk

"The Dreamer is my dad. Joseph the dreamer from the Bible is his namesake. I wanted something that said his name and that it was about him without actually saying it, and the dreamer was the first thing that came to my mind. It’s him. Positive, hopeful, mystical, curious," says Brisendine. "My father Joe passed away in July of 2017. He was my best friend, and he was in the band as well. He played harmonica on all of our releases and played shows with us all around the southeast. He was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer in February of 2017. The songs on the record are about my life since then, the impact that his passing had on myself, my brother and my mother as well as my relationships with them. I see it as a love letter to my family in a way."
