There is something in the human soul of music lovers that oft craves the new - just in case there is some combination of notes and rhythms there that go beyond what has been experienced thus far.  Mathematically, we could likely compute the number of potential new combinations of notes that can be used in "new" music.  But that sounds like a stale and Gradgrind-esque task.  I'd rather go ahead and listen to new music with hope - not with an expectation that I'll hear some kind of mathematical formula in my speakers.  (Extra points to those of you who know who Mr. Gradgrind was...)  So today, on Routes & Branches & Beyond, with joyous anticipation, I have a set of music that is relatively new to this world.

I have high-octane harmonica alongside classical accordion, British flute rock with a Scandinavian accent, bawdy hurdy-gurdies, diatonic walls of wound, shanties to make you feel good about your species, an ode to the NL phone code, reels up to St. John's speed, the mind-expanding potential of longhair bluegrass, and noble Morris marches.

From bands such as: Will Pound & Jenn Butterworth, Jethro Tull, Blowzabella, The Young ‘Uns, The Navigators, Robbie Fulks and Leveret.  Set aside your reticence and join me.

In My House Too

Music is not just an art form for me—it's a lifeline, a form of therapy that sees me through the highs and lows of life. Each track I create is a piece of my soul, translated into sound. It's in the depths of melodies and rhythms that I find solace, pouring my emotions and experiences into each note as a way to heal and understand myself better. My music is a diary of my journey, a reflection of the inner workings of my mind and heart. When you notice an influx of new tracks, it's a signal that I'm navigating through tougher times, seeking refuge and expression through my music. This direct channel from my innermost thoughts to your ears is what makes my music raw, real, and resonant. So, as you listen, know that you're not just experiencing a song, but a chapter of my life, a moment of catharsis, and a piece of my path to healing. My hope is that it may offer you the same comfort and escape it provides me.
