I had the pleasure of composing the music for this wonderful documentary about Philadelphia artists Leroy Johnson and Sarah McEneaney.
Produced by Philadelphia’s Greenhouse Media, this documentary highlights the brilliant work of the two brilliant Philadelphia artists.
Thanks to Greenhouse Media, Philadelphia’s Office Of The Arts, Culture and The Creative Economy, and of course the artists themselves for such a great opportunity! ENJOY!
Out now is “SUNRISE”, the first track from Grandchildren’s “Golden Age” record that I produced along with Bill Moriarty.
Enjoy!
