The debut album

Outgrowing
Midnight

A nine-song arc from the choices made after dark to the version of yourself waiting in daylight.

Night gives way

Every song moves the clock forward.

Outgrowing Midnight begins in the glow of tail lights and closes when the room finally comes into focus. The album follows temptation, consequences, stubborn hope, and the hard-earned clarity that arrives after the noise fades.

Modern country hooks meet cinematic nighttime Americana—rain on glass, empty roads, neon rooms, and the first warm line of morning.
