I’m thrilled to announce that Bandcamp preorders for Learning Your Name are live. When you order, you’ll immediately be able to download the first track and the rest will follow on release day, May 10.

“When I get quiet the answer is clear: this particular album of ours is special and not in a way that calls attention to ourselves but in a way that asks other people to pay attention, to listen deeply, to access the wonderment of caregiving often buried beneath layers of burnout and exhaustion. In the words of our older sister Rabbi Shoshana Friedman, these songs are ‘caregiving as liturgy.’”
