Hello! We hope everyone is keeping safe.
Sorry we’ve not posted anything in so so long. No Rhoda May news yet. Life just keeps getting in the way. However, Will has been writing and recording over the past few years. It’s not instrumental but some of you might dig it. Give it a spin!
It can also be found on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play and all the popular music streaming services. Just search “Absence & Presence”
