To listen to the album on your phone, either download the album to a computer and sync to your phone, or stream it for free here on SoundCloud.

ISLAND SONG takes us through a year in the lives of five 20 and 30-somethings sharing a city, and the chain of surprising, poignant and sometimes random connections that bring them into each others' spheres at moments that become pivotal. As the city pulses around them they're challenged to face their relationships with ambition, distraction, and connection. The show features Music by Derek Gregor, Words by Sam Carner, and Story by Sam Carner, Derek Gregor and Marlo Hunter.

Through its widely known stand-alone numbers such as Wall Lovin', TMI, Stay Awhile, Make It Here, and Sing, But Don't Tell, ISLAND SONG  is quickly becoming a favorite among students internationally. With this rapidly growing interest and love for the show across the globe, Sam and Derek decided to create a studio album to help share this beautiful new musical with the world.
