PRODUCT DETAILS
Debut album from Savannah, GA native Jonah Kagen, Sunflowers and Leather, is inspired by life's balance of love and loss, light and dark. The album was written, recorded, and produced entirely by Kagen while traveling across the American South and West in a converted Airstream trailer.

That balance runs through the music: songs like "The Reaper"and "Burn Me" (featuring Sam Barber) wrestle with mortality, faith, and inner conflict, while others lean into love and connection. "You Again," turns raw heartache in
