Singer/songwriter and guitarist Courtney Hartman has announced the release of With You: From the Garden Shed, out now. The collection stems from her 2025 album, With You and came about when Hartman returned to her backyard space to reinterpret and re-record the collection she’d written during her journey into motherhood.

Hartman explains:

After we moved back into our house, the shed became a place of quiet and stillness for me, where I would retreat to most mornings to write. Most of the songs on With You began in the gentle hold of that space. It felt right to take them back to the empty room where they began, playing them again against a chorus of May birds and our neighbor’s chimes.

The songs written during Hartman’s journey of becoming a mother were re-recorded to tape in the backyard space where they first began.

Over the past decade, Hartman has spent time in 28 different countries, “seeking to bridge cultural divides through music diplomacy and creative cooperation.” Her previous release, With You, is a collaborative album centered around the themes of care and motherhood. It includes performances by Watchhouse, Tift Merritt, Phil Cook, and more.
