Rising star of the acoustic guitar world Julian Lage looks at his future from the front rank of performers of his generation - a guitarist and composer, who delights and inspires musicians and fans alike. Lage’s virtuosity is only part of what makes him such a formidable artist; he also possesses broad musical wisdom, sophistication and wit.

"I have always seen music as an extension of nature, rather than a realm that is within my control, and it has become my greatest teacher. Within the lessons that I learn through music, are dynamic and inspiring relationships with people. I feel deeply grateful to be a part of this rich environment, and I look forward to seeing what it has in store for me, as I develop personally and musically."

The album features a stunning core band of saxophonist Ben Roseth, cellist Aristides Rivas, bassist Jorge Roeder, percussionist Tupac Mantilla with special guests including acclaimed Mandolin virtuoso Chris Thile and multi-Grammy winning banjo player Béla Fleck. The songs on the album are:
