Tracks 1–2
Departure
A folded map, a water tower in the rearview, and the first realization that leaving does not have to mean running.
Debut album · November 6, 2026
Wildflower
& Rust
Tender enough to bloom. Strong enough to weather the miles.
Ten songs trace a journey through what grows freely and what time leaves behind—from certainty to motion, and from motion to belonging.
The story
Some things survive by hardening. Others survive by blooming anyway.
Wildflower & Rust begins with a departure that is neither angry nor final. Calla trades straight roads for curves, familiar skies for Carolina rain, and the comfort of being known for the uneasy freedom of becoming someone new.
Wildflower is the tenderness that keeps returning; rust is the history the road leaves on everything it touches. Across grief, grit, humor, and awe, the album finds strength in carrying both.
The emotional map
Four chapters
Tracks 3–5
Weather
Unsent words travel farther than expected as the road gives way to dust, city rain, and unfamiliar faces.
Tracks 6–8
Bloom
Mountains, mistakes, and overlooked rooms slow the journey enough for something unguarded to take root.
Tracks 9–10
Home
Home becomes a choice—not a county line, a person, or a return to the place where the story began.
