With ‘Feather in the Wind,' Garrison Nunn delivers a deeply personal debut that feels less like a polished introduction and more like an open journal. Written over four years while juggling pharmacy school, faith and a burgeoning music career, this album captures its creator caught between ambition and vulnerability. From moments of wrestling with self-worth to nostalgic reflection on the past, Nunn’s songwriting cuts straight to the centre of what it means to be adrift yet determined — exactly like a feather carried on a breeze.
The production, co-led by Nunn and Stephen Ray at Saxman Studios, is elegantly restrained, letting the emotional weight of songs like ‘Got Me Here' and ‘Almost Nearly There' speak for themselves. Standout tracks showcase contrasting moods: ‘Got Me Here' confronts his lowest points with gritty resolve, while ‘Almost Nearly There' urges listeners to pause and cherish the little victories.
‘Full Throttle' then closes the album by examining the balancing act between longing for the familiar and pushing toward new horizons. Across these songs, Nunn’s voice lands with sincerity, warmth, and a quiet power that reveals how much he’s grown — not yet fully grounded, but unquestionably figuring out exactly where he belongs.
