LIVINGSTON, NJ — Musician and Livingston dad Jared Wohl didn't let his creative spirit lag while helping raise his two boys under the age of three.

While he was working remotely and staying home more during the pandemic, he picked up his guitars and created his first full-length album, The Road, which was released this month.

Wohl had recorded years ago under the name Farewell Luna, but now he's on a new course.

Jared describes the album — recorded with session artists Sean Hurley (bass), Aaron Sterling (drums), and Andy Burton (keys) — as "pop rock wrapped around rhythmic guitar and soulful vocal melodies."

Wohl explained, "Seven years ago, I wrote and recorded an album with some incredible musicians. Since then, there have been so many life-altering moments: I've gotten married, purchased a home, became a father to two amazing little boys, and changed careers."

Today he's reintroducing himself as a singer-songwriter. "If these past several years have taught me anything, it's that life is fragile, its moments are fleeting, and music continues to be my greatest form of self-expression," said Wohl.

He added, "The Road is my first full-length album — a reflection of the path that has led me to where I am and what lies ahead."

Self-taught, Jared's music speaks through influences of soul and is evident of an upbringing listening to Motown, other oldies, and alternative rock. "I hope to instill my love of music in my sons, which is why I am especially excited this album is officially out," he said.

Wohl included his two sons, ages 10 months and almost 3, on his album cover.

Growing up, he attended Parsippany Hills High School, Montclair State University for undergrad, and Michigan State University for graduate school.
