The Santa Maria native possesses a sincerity that translates to his songwriting. When he sings, you believe him, and you want to lean in and hang onto every word. It’s this very quality that makes his songs feel so personal and captivating, as if he’s singing them only to you. Beland makes music for the dreamers of the world— for the people who stare longingly out the passenger window on long drives and get lost inside their daydreams, for the people-watchers at the park, for the person sitting alone and journaling at the cafe, for the gardeners, collectors, and tender-hearted romantics.
