Half Moon was written and recorded over the course of 5 years in Montreal, Toronto, Eastman, and Banff.
Thank you to my ultimate collaborator, producer/engineer/guitarist extraordinaire, Sam Gleason, for your unyielding patience and pushing me to my artistic limits; to Jim, Jan and Rylan Gulkin for lending us your beautiful space for multiple writing retreats and rehearsals; to Joelle Turner and Sarah Rossy who helped me find my rock voice; to The Banff Centre for the Arts and the community of folks who supported my creative process - Sam Cope, Joe Fallon, Emily Kaplan, Monique Claire, Raine Hamilton and Brendan Canning; to all the Gulkins, Penners and Posens, especially my mom Cathy Gulkin, my grandmother Ruth Penner and my dad Martin Posen; to my road wife and lifelong friend Leah Dolgoy for always being there; to dearest friends Thanya Iyer, Alex Kasirer-Smibert, Chesley Walsh, Sarv Amir-Ebrahimi, Élo Choquette, Mina Iyer, Chandler McMurray-Ives, Brigitte Naggar, Cedric Noel and Anna Horvath who kept me afloat during the pandemic; to my beautiful trans community, I love you.
This album is dedicated to my grandfather Harry Gulkin, who was my biggest fan. ז״ל
