Record composer Cory Driscoll, impacted by Hurricane Matthew in 2016, began writing an album that focused on his experience of young fatherhood in Florida; a tropical place known for its beaches, sun, and storms. As Hurricane Irma crashed into the Florida coastline 11 months later, he again found himself without power and determined to finish the album in the state it began.

“Tropical Depression” is bookended by Hurricanes Matthew and Irma and reflect Driscoll’s relationship with the beauty, power, and, at times, the devastation of living in Florida.

The album is a playable relic from a one time performance at the Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens on September 14, 2018.
