Stephen Kellogg is set to release Objects in the Mirror on November 23, 2018. Produced by fellow Americana singer-songwriter Will Hoge, the 12-track set was recorded over the course of a single week in Nashville, TN and tracked live, keeping the results intact with minimal overdubs. Ahead of release, American Songwriter featured album track “High Highs, Low Lows” yesterday calling it “a slowly building folk anthem with chiming piano, gentle pedal steel and a raw, vulnerable vocal performance from Kellogg.” Of writing the song, Kellogg offers, “It's is a bit of an ode to perseverance. To finding one's way through hard times (of which there are plenty), and also having the sense to recognize happiness when it's in front of us. Like a lot of people, I'm trying to make sense of some of the fractures that have occurred in my life. Music helps with that.” “High Highs, Low Lows” can be heard/shared at the links below, and Objects in the Mirror is available for pre-order now via the Kellogg Family Store. Kellogg has also announced an extensive U.S. solo tour throughout the rest of 2018, to be followed by a full-band run next spring.
