“The Sacred Goof” is a new collection of twenty-four songs by Bryan Schwartz. The book version contains all the lyrics, each one accompanied by a sparkling original colour image by the illustrator Maren Amini. It can be enjoyed all on its own as a stand-alone work. Listeners are encouraged to view to the studio-produced album as well.

A middle-aged man, Issac, has just learned that his father passes away. His own little son asks “is your father in heaven?” Isaac retraces, through narrative and song, his own journal through life. As he grows as a creative artist, he asks whether faith is only art – and ultimately whether art itself can be a form of consolation.
