Singer-songwriter Sean Thomas Gerard's safe space is his garage, where he can record his music: Americana with a seasoning of symphonic melodic indie pop. His new album Stay In Your Light is basically a love letter to his wife and two daughters, one they can listen to for many years to come - maybe even after when he is no longer alive.
That sounds like a tall order, but he carefully sidesteps the pitfalls that would have made it overblown, rose-tinted exercise. By applying some slightly skewed keyboards and going for chord changes that haven't been be played to death the Wilmington, NC based artist created his own unique sonic textures that might sound familiar, but turn out to be far more complicated upon closer inspection.
