Local musician, Joel Van Horne (formerly Carbon Choir, and creating under the moniker Covenhoven), is releasing his self-titled, debut album, Covenhoven this month. Named and inspired after his grandfather’s 10-year, single-handed construction of a beloved family cabin in Medicine Bows, WY, Van Horne drew upon the, “nature of solitude and stillness from the cabin,” and the pride of “doing it yourself,” to complete this album.
Covenhoven set out to construct this concept album entirely on his own; to pay tribute to his grandfather’s hard work and dedication that created infinite, valued memories for their family. Every contribution is Covenhoven (except the mastering), and the influence of the Covenhoven cabin is evident in every song.
Catch the album release on September 20th at the Walnut Room, and if you’re unable to make that, the album will be available via digital outlets on the 24th. Also, the album will be streamed in its entirety 2 weeks prior to the show on Covenhoven.com. Check out an album review in this month’s A-Sides.
