With "Two Good Hands EP" Purpose offers in just three songs a compelling, somewhat-off-center outing that sweeps up the listener with brilliant imagery and compelling vocals. With Griffin Goldsmith of the band DAWES as the drummer/percussionist, Purpose recorded the songs with Ryan Hommel producing in 2021. The Blackjack Hall Of Fame member explains, "2021, those are the two best hands in Blackjack. Thus the title."

Before the recording began, Purpose heard what he deemed 'the best music ever made by humans' - it was Heather Maloney's album, 'Soil In The Sky'. Purpose reached out to the producer, Ryan Hommel, known for his work with Maloney, Seth Glier, and Amos Lee. "I had never met him but I loved his production so I called him," Purpose says. "Ryan did a masterful job on these tracks."

This track was recorded at the Elephant Collective Studios.
The first time Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer played this song, at a farmers market in Oregon, Dave had woken up with the song, fresh from a dream, ready to go. The first time they played it at a festival, they got a standing ovation from the festival audience IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SONG.
It's a great honor and privilege to share this song with you, and I hope that this kicks it just a little further down the road to where it needs to be -- sung and recognized all over the world for the Epic Earth Anthem that it is. ~Darryl
Thanks to Tracy Grammer and to Elise Fisher

There was a house warming gathering when I first moved to Nederland, Colorado. I was looking, with a neighbor, out at the continental divide. It seemed a fantasy. Untouchable. He turned to me and said, "Ya know, you can walk up there". Song has been percolating for 14 years.
