Message from Haesemeyer:

Like many of my generation, I found sanctuary in the music of the singer-songwriters of the 1970s. Their music gave me the space I needed to reflect on all that was happening around me: my parents’ divorce, the closets I found myself in, and the ordinary changes of adolescence. To this day, even as I have matured, I still find performing and songwriting great ways to slow down and make sense of the world around me.

In making music, my goal is to create a similar experience for my listeners. In performing, I seek an intimate relationship with the audience, emphasizing acoustic instruments (e.g. guitars, cello, voice) and taking time to tell stories that explain what inspires me. In writing songs and making videos to accompany them, I seek to explore the themes of loss, love, and hope that run through not only my own life but through the lives of most everyone.
