Description
&DearFriends is the new project from John Booker (I Was Totally Destroying It), Aslan Freeman (Unifier), and Curtis Armstead (Canadian Airports, I Was Totally Destroying It). An album of love, loss, recovery, and finding one’s self again through music, it is a musical and lyrical journey through the best and worst of the human experience.
