Dedicated to the memory of my father, Mark Sweenie.
This recording is many things to me – a record of my work over the past several years, a collaboration between myself and a team of outstanding artists, and a collection of compositions that found me in different ways, in different places.
To you the listener: I hope this music finds you well, wherever you find yourself.
Produced with the financial assistance of the Edmonton Arts Council and The Alberta Foundation for the Arts.
Special thanks to MacEwan University’s Provost, Dr. Craig Monk, for his ongoing support of Bent River Records.
