Preston is excited to release his debut album, Coffee’s On, as an homage to Indianapolis jazz. Indianapolis jazz is unique because it has a blue-collar sensibility, a unique rhythmic interpretation, and a folk-like harmonic approach that’s infused with a modern complexity. He hopes to capture this through the compositions he wrote in this album.
