Forgotten Songs by Audra Sergel

I started writing these songs in 2008. They have sat scattered and unfinished in my journals under my nightstand, in the top of my closet, and next to my piano for years. “Forgotten Songs” is a collection of my original songs that have either been brushed aside in the name of being too busy or unheard because they were sung in the recesses of my local restaurant gigs and in my basement. I have dreamed of recording them for nearly 10 years.

We recorded the majority of this album in my teaching studio, all of us nestled into our instruments and each’s others sound zones. I wanted this music to feel like you were in the room with us, at a house concert, hearing and feeling all of the experience. As Ani DiFranco sang, “People used to make records, as in a record of an event, the event of people playing music in a room.” This is us, playing music in a room.
