Meet You There is an intimate record about what happens when life cracks you open and the choice to come out of it more compassionate, more present, and more willing to act. Beginning with heartbreak and the need for someone to actually show up when the walls come down, the album gradually moves beyond the self, trading regret and “what ifs” for the decision to live in the moment and meet people where they are. With its indie-pop accessibility and reflective singer-songwriter heart, Meet You There ultimately feels like an album about tearing down walls between lovers, neighbors, communities, and ourselves, and building bridges in their place, one honest human connection at a time.

T.oB was conceived in 2016 as a project by songwriter Chris Bartlett aka PugXXL. For 40 years, he continues to write and record his songs at home as time allows and now uses AI to create versions of these songs for an alternative listening experience. He continues to hone his craft in Florida, in between answering support calls for a software company and while avoiding thunderstorms and hurricanes as often as possible.

Original lyrics and melodies are preserved. Production created using Suno.
