Hollow in the Pines is a song born from a melody I wrote years ago on the violin—one that lingered quietly, waiting for the right moment. That moment came today.

This track carries the weight of what we bury and what still finds its way back—through dreams, memories, and sound. It’s about a place that holds your secrets, even when you’d rather they be forgotten. A place that hums and howls with truth. I layered mandolin and violin to let the strings speak where words hesitate.

For anyone who’s ever felt tethered to somewhere dark but familiar, this one's for you.

"Steel Drivers Roar Tonight" is a bluegrass tribute to the robo-trucks revolutionizing Texas highways, sparked by Andrew Yang’s vision of automation. This track captures the thrill of self-driving rigs outpacing human drivers with LiDAR precision, hauling cargo from Dallas to Houston under the stars. It’s a nod to the future where tech takes the wheel, blending gritty banjo and soaring fiddle to tell a story of progress and possibility. Perfect for anyone fascinated by the rise of robotrucks.

“Wendell Old Home Day” is a toe-tapping big band jazz tribute to one of Western Massachusetts’ most spirited small-town traditions. Inspired by the annual celebration in Wendell—lovingly detailed in the Greenfield Recorder—this tune captures the essence of a day filled with music, maple trees, hand-spun joy, and neighborly pride.  From the early parade steps to the last notes from the Shadow Twisters, the song strolls through forty-six vendor stalls, art shows, and local flavors like Diemand Farm and Ginger Love Café. It’s a musical snapshot of community connection, rooted in the fields and forest of the hilltown. Put it on, turn it up, and imagine yourself dancing on the common.

Quabbin Trolley Song is a heartfelt folk ballad inspired by the Quabbin Trolley Excursion, a journey through the submerged history of Massachusetts’ lost towns. Guided by the storytelling spirit of Elena Palladino, author of Lost Towns of the Swift River Valley, this song weaves a tapestry of memory and place. With vivid lyrics, it captures the trolley’s ride through the Quabbin Reservoir’s haunting landscape, where waves conceal the stories of four vanished towns. Perfect for history lovers and dreamers, this track invites you to sip brews, savor lunch, and roll through time’s enduring call. Written and performed with soulful reverence, it’s a tribute to what was and what remains.

“Artemis Dreams” is a space-folk anthem inspired by NASA’s groundbreaking $177 million contract with Firefly Aerospace to deliver the first multi-rover mission to the moon’s south pole.

With verses tracing robotic scouts, icy craters, and international collaboration, and a chorus echoing humanity’s dream of exploration, “Artemis Dreams” shines a hopeful light on the mission to unlock the moon’s hidden secrets.

One of my students speaks Irish.  It's a beautiful language.  My Grandfather was from County Wicklow.  I studied fiddle when I was there in 1996.

Today while walking across the Windsor Dam at the Quabbin Reservoir, I met a group of friendly DCR staff who spend their days caring for our parks, forests, and waters. Our conversation about music and the land inspired this song. “DCR is Walking With the Land” is meant to be sung together - simple, steady, and uplifting, like footsteps on a trail. May it carry the spirit of community, nature, and stewardship wherever it's sung.
