10/10/23 Update: It’s been a while, but I recently posted a new acoustic cover! This is my stripped-down take of the incredible track “Night Drives,” by one of my favorite synthpop artists (and former Pittsburgh resident) Ky Vöss. It was a fun challenge to figure out the chords and rhythms, and translate a decidedly not-acoustic song into this format. Ky’s lyrics are also beautifully heartbreaking.

I hope you enjoy it! Original songs are in the works as well…
