Songs about characters deep in madness and love. Songs of the forest and outer space. Stories about people to spark conversation, sung by a singer with a guitar, a harmonica, & some other lovely things, too.

Our Wild America is the music I make.

I’m a writer’s musician, searching for the shared human experience in the minutiae, in the delicate. I love the sound of a simple acoustic strum and an untrained voice begging to be heard.

Just as there are ritual shapes and figures carved into rocks of worship shared by ancient cultures across the world, there are shared human songs, too, mathematical melodies and rhythms that express the struggles and triumphs of our species. Songs that feel like you’ve known them your whole life upon first listen feel that way because they are in our bones.

I’m searching for the UNIVERSAL SONG, the perfectly human melody that has been sung for tens of thousands of years.

How many of the greatest songs of our time have been sung by far flung music makers over the millennia, only to surface again in this age of recorded music? Billboard’s Hot 200 of the last 50,000 years…

Art is our attempt to attain immortality. Songs are our voices in the trees, screaming into the cosmos that we exist.

These are the songs I want to write and sing, primordial melodies and shuffling rhythms. My work is to pull them out of the ether and sing them to you. I hope you hear some of them and recognize them in your bones.
