All plots stem from two ideas: road trip and stranger comes to town. Either way, the status quo is disrupted and the adventure begins. Here's to the adventurer in all of us, even if it takes a little nudge to get out the door.

Stranger Walks into a Room

Some fear the spider, and some fear the snake. And many fear the messenger for taking what he takes.

Spiders and Snakes

Here's an uptempo song about the ups and downs of life, love, and what it means to think of home.

Long for Home

Middle of June

When you're not feeling well, sometimes the best medicine is a good moan. Maybe that's what the blues are for.

It Feels Good to Moan

Here's a song about dinner . . . and animal friends.

Fodder For Fools

We beat the sun. 
We took it down. 
And turned that light off in the sky. 
Oh, oh. Oh my. 
We made it run 
Into the ground. 
We made the planets say, "Oh my." 
Oh, oh. Oh my.

We Beat The Sun

Maps used to come in only paper form, with folds and creases, but they could reveal so much--about where you are in the world, about where you'd like to explore, and about whether you've made it home. Here's a song dedicated to the discovery of new places and old places--and to the search for community in a world that can often make you feel lonely.

Hold the Map

The Life You Lead

"Via Lactea" is Latin for Milky Way, but all cultures have stared at the great white path above that orients us in this galaxy. Here's a mellow song for some existential contemplation of the night sky and our place in it.

Via Lactea

Original Americana and Tin Pan Alley-style songs. A little bit blues, a little bit country, a little bit folk . . . and all that jazz.
