The new 7 song EP is finished and will be available for streaming and download wherever you find your music on 6/23/23! The new original music project was self produced, recorded, and edited at 15th State Productions studio in Brandenburg, KY throughout late winter/spring of 2023. The final mixing and mastering was done by Alec Neal at Vinegar Based Sound in Columbia, SC (vinegarbasedsound.com)
This is the first independent release for T.E. Kresse after two decades worth of session work and producing for other artists. Several of the tracks (The Aftermath, Held Down, Clear) were written around 2015 as part of a demo project called “Forward”. The additional tracks (Super Heroes, Carolina Skies, Soon Enough, Slow Dancing to Purple Rain) were all written more recently as part of this new project release.
The EP's title “All the Beginnings and all of the Ends” is a theme and tribute to the stories told within each song. Each track tells a different story from the divorce anthem “Held Down”, to the struggles of being a single parent on “Super Heroes”, to the unwanted transition from truly impactful people within “Carolina Skies”.
In a parallel effort to the new EP, look for an additional release in late 2023 that will feature some early original songs written in the 2000's called “Twenty Something”.
