Jack Tempchin - Learn To Dance (2015)

The numbers on Learning To Dance all share the themes of love and romance, and weave a lush spell with their blend of electric and acoustic instruments wrapped around a spine of Tempchin’s guitar and Piper’s piano. From the giddy limerence of the title track to the heartbreak of “Love’s First Lesson” to the warmly wistful “You Can Go Home” to the gentle conclusion, “Finally Found Me,” Learning To Dance speaks volumes about the experiences of the heart. “It’s impossible to overrate the importance of songs,” Tempchin adds. “Songs change people. Songs enlighten and delight. Songs bring lives together. Songs can nourish and build communities in a billion ways. I’m so proud that I’ve made songwriting my life’s work.”
