Open Seasons by EG Cunningham
Written over the course of a year, these songs explore the connections between our layered pasts and elusive futures. At once elegiac, poignant, and surreal, Open Seasons captures the associative nature of memory, the echoes of lost and found love, and the experience of time amid rapidly changing climates.
Half of all proceeds will be donated to the Merced County Food Bank in California’s Central Valley.
