Walking Home

by Genevieve Walker
Released on 2015-12-08

I composed my first solo album, Walking Home,  when I was pregnant with my first son. It told the tale of a traveler Walking Home. Two kids and some life later, I have completed my second solo album, Home Songs. This album is a shift in my orientation, drawing upon the sounds and melodies of everyday life to express a collective ode to both the longing and cultivation of home. It is a celebration of the numinous in the ordinary and a musical exploration of finding home in the people that we love.

 
As soon as I heard your music, it was recognizable as you: beautiful, deeply virtuosic, warm, positive, but with a hint of melancholy. Just amazing.
— Torquil Campbell
WOW!!! It is so amazing…totally loved it.
Falling is my fave.
— Krishna Das
This is truly a gift for your ears and your heart

HOme Songs

by Genevieve Walker
Released on: 2022-06-21

Home Songs, my second solo album, has grown out of the soil of motherhood and the ground of family life. Several of the melodies first came to me as lullabies that I would hum to my babies. Others were composed with an instrument in one hand and a toddler on my knee. My babies have grown into little people and the melodies have become the songs of this album. Songs are akin to children, they begin with an inkling, a whisper and build and grow beyond the imagination! Chris Gartner, the producer of this album, was instrumental in growing these songs.
