Hallelujah from the Broke
About this track
Songs in an Empty Church is a collection of late-night pieces written for spaces that remember prayer long after the people have gone home. This album lives in the hush between echoes: a piano bench still warm, a saxophone holding a breath a second longer than expected, dust motes drifting through stained glass light. It draws on jazz, blues, and gospel language, but strips them back to their bones—no applause, no congregation, just sound and silence in conversation. These are not performance pieces. They are listening pieces. Music for when the building is empty but not abandoned. When faith feels quieter, darker, more questioning—yet still present. Improvisation moves slowly here. Melodies linger. Notes are allowed to ache. There is space for doubt, reverence, grief, grace, and the kind of hope that doesn’t shout. If you’ve ever sat alone in a church after everyone has left— or believed something deeply without needing to explain it— these songs already know you.
