‼️ My second solo album is now LIVE on all streaming platforms! ‼️

I know what you're thinking:   "I’m excited for the holidays, but I wish I had some sonorous, low frequency melodies to accompany the tryptophan-laden turkey (or veg alternative 🥦) I'm about to consume next week!" 🦃  Well tuba fans, ask and you shall receive. My second studio album, called Voyager, is a partial reference to the ludicrous amount of travel I've done over the past few years (👋🏻 hello Southwest companion pass), but also references the geographical scope of the music on the album - hopefully there's something for everyone! 🇺🇸🇩🇪🇫🇷🇸🇪

Featured on the album:

☀️ A work I commissioned by the great @kevindaymusic
📎 Two staples of the tuba repertoire (Casterède Sonatine and Hindemith Sonata)
🪵 The hygge-inducing Sang Till Lotta, gleefully stolen from all the trombonists in my life I’ve heard play it over the years

Check it out (link in bio), and let me know what you think - and also let me know what holiday side dish best accompanies each track 🥔🎶

Kevin Day’s “SOLARIS” is available for purchase now - check the YouTube link in my bio for the sheet music purchase link! ☀️

#tb to some mid pandemic Bach Tocatta and Fugue with the @canadianbrass featuring two tubas - how all brass quintets should be going forward, if you ask me 💣🚢💪🏻

I learned from @mtilsonthomas that revisiting a piece of music is like revisiting a national park: when we see it for a second time, so many things have changed - not only the landscape, but our perspectives change as a result of lived experience. That’s how revisiting a war horse like the Vaughan Williams feels: it’s something I’ve performed countless times, but every time feels a bit different.
