Juniper was a short lived band formed in Danville,VA in the Summer of 1999. The band was comprised of Jody Abbott, Kenneth Close, & Brian Markham who were back in their hometown after their first year of college. The trio worked quickly to craft and record these 8 songs during that summer on a digital 8 track (cutting edge technology!) while practicing a couple nights a week in a storage unit near the local airport. 

The Everything is Free in Eden recordings came to Harrisonburg,VA with Abbott and Close and the band enlisted friend, Michael Meadows to mix the recordings in JMU studio A. Meadows, who, coincidentally now plays a variety of instruments in Taylor Swift's band. 

The music never was mastered because the band didn't know that was a necessary step in a recording (all being 19 at the time). They did hand assemble a variety of cds using a very dated printer and cutting edge cd burning technology which took about 30 minutes per cd to output. 

After a dozen or so shows and 50 or so homemade cds the band who had Markham commuting from Richmond to Harrisonburg for weekly practices called it quits and buried this recording in the summer of 2000.
