about

Better Than The Book - Hopes and Dreams [Instrumentals] is a bonus album to celebrate an amazing year since the release of "Hopes and Dreams" and everything BTTB's 2nd full-length album achieved!

With 9/10 tracks featured on the radio worldwide from the USA to UK to Australia including numerous shows on idobi Radio, BBC Introducing, and The Ska Show with Beefy (the number 2 ska music show in the world), dozens of web blog and zine features, and the subsequent formation of the Better Than The Book LIVE band, Hopes and Dreams was undoubtedly BTTB's most successful project to date and made a mark I couldn't have ever imagined when I first launched it!

A monumental thanks to everyone who helped make all this happen with a huge shout out to Meg, the album's PR extraordinaire, Beefy and Melita for their continued radio support and great vibes, the BTTB LIVE band's Eamon, Sam and Andy for their boundless enthusiasm to take these tunes to the stage, and of course to my supporters on Patreon who keep my music going each month with special mention to the $10+ patrons: Nathan Puray, David Klein II, and Michael White! Thank you all so much for your help and support in making these dreams a reality!

Hopes and Dreams [Instrumentals], much like I did for Two Years On, is a complete off-vocal version of the album for you to sing along to, make silly mash-ups, or simply listen to when you want some BTTB but without any vocals! I hope you enjoy this bonus album while I get the Better Than The Book live show prepared for the stage, and I'm sure it won't be too long until I'm back in the studio for the next album! Thank you all so much again and see you for some more BTTB soon!
