New Music Video!

“I Won’t Wonder Why” is the first music video off of Rory’s debut album. This video was shot over the course of one day at the Liminal Space Collective’s temporary headquarters at the Circle Church on the Westside of Santa Cruz. It is a glimpse into the life of someone suffering from paranoid delusions as they navigate through the city.
