“Like a star fallen from some corner of the night — songwriting found me instead of the reverse," Batterson says. In 2012, he started working with with artists Dave Herrero and Felix Reyes on Dave’s album Corazón, released in 2013, on which S.R. Batterson wrote lyrics for many of the songs. Since then, he's written songs with Austin-based Paige DeChausse (and The Reverent Few) and others.Over the next decade, he developed songs and a style of his own. His writing invites you on an expedition, inviting you into the wilderness that inspires his curiosity and craft. Fly fishing, camping, roadtripping and traveling are where he writes his material and what he writes about. His debut EP "Firewood Burning" — seven tracks recorded partly in nature and partly in studio — released on March 1, 2024. The collection offers a combination of sounds and production levels, with some of the songs as simple as just Batterson with an acoustic guitar by a campfire and others including his mentor and producer of the album Felix Reyes on guitar and bass, and his creative collaborator, multi-instrumentalist Jeremiah Klinger on electric guitar and synth. The mixing and mastering of the album, with the hand of Dave Herrero, brings the sonic quality together while still honoring nature as another contributor or character in the overall experience, something Batterson and Reyes both knew they wanted from the start.Like a river has currents at different depths, each moving at their own pace and intensity, there are deep undercurrent influences like Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Tom Petty and Townes Van Zandt, riding beneath more immediate influences, like Jeffrey Foucault, Josh Ritter, Phosphorescent, Erik Koskinen, Pieta Brown and Caitlin Canty. All flowing together into a stream that's at once old and ever changing.
