An limited pressing copy of GLADE, printed by Blue Sprocket Pressing and designed by Nancy Bell.
For each individual merchandise purchase, Courtney donates $1 to One Tree Planted. Together, through your support, there will be a tree put into the ground somewhere in the world.
Glade is a collection of songs about home and the second full-length release from Colorado-born guitarist, singer, and producer, Courtney Hartman. Written in the span of a year following her return to a childhood home, the songs emanate from a place of quiet and sifting out. After leaving the east coast and the stage for a time, Courtney spent two years living with family, rebuilding the barn where she made a home, and recording soundscapes and melodies in the early, dark hours of morning. As the songs took shape, she brought in a handful of friends to contribute sounds from a distance including percussion from Shane Leonard, Jason Burger, and Tobias Banks, harmony from Gregory Alan Isakov and violin from Russell Durham. Glade is a slow simmer; intimate and churning, ready to hold your heart and ears.
Includes unlimited streaming of Glade
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
BRIGHT AT MY BACK
Courtney Hartman, BMI (Reckoner Publishing )
Do not let the light in
I’m not ready for the sight
Let the dark linger
Hold a morning star
Gentle in the night
I will lie beneath her
Be my comfort
Be my company
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Pull away the mute
Covering my ears
Let me hear you whisper
Breaking the silent
Stillness of the year
How long have we stood there
Be my answer
Be my humbling
And let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
You are the sky everything else is weather
No reason why anything else should matter
You are the sky everything else is weather
No reason why anything else should matter
So let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back
I am returning
Let the light shine bright at my back

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums. rileyridgway
Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2020
