With FATHERS, Kiefer, Carrtoons, Nate Smith, and Kenneth Blume come together for a deeply personal and collaborative project that celebrates connection, legacy, and the transformative experience of fatherhood. Blending jazz, soul, hip-hop, and improvisation, the album unfolds with warmth, honesty, and effortless musical chemistry.

Built around intimate grooves, expressive piano, fluid basslines, and Nate Smith’s unmistakable drumming, the record balances spontaneous interplay with thoughtful composition. Each musician brings a distinct voice, yet the result feels remarkably unified—reflecting shared experiences rather than individual performances.

Gentle, reflective, and full of heart, FATHERS is a celebration of family, creativity, and community. It’s a beautifully understated record that finds strength not in spectacle, but in empathy, trust, and the joy of making music together.
