Bringing together years of songwriting and recording, we have decided there is only time and space in our sets of live music for authentic original songs - both sung with lyrics and also all-instrumental music composed by Joe Reggiatore.
Changing our Band name is just one part of this new journey and we will say that our Band is our promise of keeping it real.
Play it forward…
Music is both intimate and when shared, it builds community.
Music played live creates connection and a sense of belonging. Songwriters and singers, players and pickers at some point need to have an audience to find their shared purpose and tribal identity.
What I have found over the years - from big festivals and street dances to small venues with a handful of listeners, the glow of a woodstove and people enjoying themselves in good company with a cheerful brew at hand - is fellowship.
To be a musician who is vulnerable and courageous, practiced and spontaneous means there is a language of the boomerang effect - what we put out - you respond to and we immediately bridge the gap between truth and trust.
As seasons change so do we all.
Another trip around the Sun and the learning and growing have just begun.
Whether we are raising the rafters or having a honky-tonk hoe-down or singing a lonesome song by a moonlit river where sorrows fade - the music is always the story and the words of the song are expressed in the true voice of the artist.
Our roots grow deeper and in time our new shoots appear.
Out of the darkness into the light, our Soul Purpose is revealed.
We can all sing our way home….
