When Jason’s wife, Renee, went to Kenya for six months to volunteer in an orphanage, he decided to use the time to write songs and record an album with friends James, Meghan, Laura, and Jeff.
ACW set out to achieve two simple goals: write and record in the spirit of collaboration, and make an album they would like if they heard it somewhere. The final product is an album that we all proudly put our names to, celebrating the making of music and the company of friends.
