Bring Me Down Low

As a personal challenge I try and write straight ahead bluegrass songs that sound classic, but not cliché. I attempt to insert my own voice without it sounding too contemporary, and “Bring Me Down Low” came out of this prompt. The hook was directly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic yet again, as my emotions teetered between joyful optimism, crippling depression, and everything in between. This was the first song we cut in the studio. Originally it had a tightly arranged ending, but when we were getting levels we were so excited to play with one another that we couldn’t bring ourselves to end the jam. What you hear is a glimpse of how much fun we had playing together after so much time apart.
