Good Grief by Jake Haws

This album is many years in the making. I started recording some of the songs back in 2014 and other songs were written and recorded as recently as a few months ago.  There have been many starts and stops stops along the way as I've tried to figured out what I want to say and what this thing should sound like. There's rock songs, folk songs, piano songs, electronica songs and everything in between. There's songs about death, grief, disagreement and anxiety, but also hope, patience and love.

As I thought about what it should be called, I came up with the title, "Good Grief," which references Charlie Brown, a character I've come to relate with more and more as time has gone on; someone who wears his heart on his sleeve as he experiences many of the themes I write about. It's also an inside joke to myself about what someone might say when I tell them it took me 4 years to make an album!

I hope you enjoy listening to this album.
