My composition Water Song is an awareness building song about the dangers of fracking, flooding, climate change and all of those things that are threatening our beautiful planet. It's written in the hope that we can change in time. 
I'll be performing Water Song on Simon Lederman's live radio session on BBC London 94.9FM on March 27th 10pm. You can listen online too so please tune in. 
A big thank you to Friends of the Earth for your support.

We were driving up highway 101 in central California this past Winter and noticed that the landscape was drier and browner than any Summer we'd lived through here. The lack of familiar Winter green shocked us, and we channeled that feeling into our music. "The Well" was born. We're excited to have the beautiful voices of Rising Appalachia singing in sweet harmony with us as we join the tradition of bringing song to a struggle in our community and raising awareness of the seriousness of this drought. 

We'd like to take this opportunity to help bring more thought to water conservation, not only when we're in a drought, but as a daily part of our lives. Water is a precious thing. We can all do our part to change our water-wasting ways and keep the wells from running dry.

Lyrics by Dirtwire and Rich Canut:

woke up and the well was dry
27 vultures in the sky 
i don't know when and i don't know why 
this is the year that the well went dry

i ate dust and dirt too many days 
if i don't get a drink someone's gonna pay
the trees all died and withered away 
wild fires came and set them all ablaze

i don't know how much longer i got
time to hit the road and find another spot 
when the rain comes it all washes away 
we lift our heads and this is what we say
 
the ranch is run down to the bone 
and i can't get a god damn loan
i'll dig this hole till the day i die 
this is the year that the well went dry 

i don't know how much longer i got
time to hit the road and find another spot 
when the rain comes it all washes away 
we lift our heads and this is what we say

poison steals my last breath 
rattle snakes can eat my flesh 
it was a rough ride until the end 
but you know i'd do it again 

i don't know how much longer i got
time to hit the road and find another spot 
when the rain comes it all washes away 
we lift our heads and this is what we say
