120+ incredible Musicians came and rocked out over the course of 8 years developing massive Storm Clouds of all shapes and sizes with members from various countries and playing in multiple states.

Cloudflowers the artist was featured on Radio Stations all over the world starting in Arezzo, Italy when a DJ found the song “Cloud La’s” truly spurring everything into action. Multiple Radio and Television interviews as well as getting to be in the Newspaper was a treat. 

We never played the same set twice and rarely had the same set of members play more than once in a row. 

Cloudflowers was nothing without Community. Cloudflowers was community. Cloudflowers went way beyond the scope of a band and went it got lit on fire all the seeds scattered to grow into some incredible Bands shattering boundaries further that Cloudflowers had originally broken. (A lot of people became friends and family.)

Multiple Members of the Flower Hour have since passed away and iam so thankful to have recordings of their encounters singing like different species of bird who make melodies without ever speaking to one another in the trees. I hope Bruce and Lola are keeping you guys company. 

I don’t miss the stress of gathering a bunch of feral creatures with massive talent but I do miss the laughs and spontaneous sounds that were created as most of us started out as complete strangers making beautiful, beautiful music on the spot in front of crowds of all shapes and sizes. Jerry would have been proud.

(The music on this page is from the period of time I spent locked in my room figuring out how to compose music and find the sound I wanted. The band however, ended up nothing like this and some day I will post the album that was being recorded at Dusty Pocket Studios in Bozeman, MT before the Pandemic hit. That shit changed everything and iam honestly grateful. Not for the Pandemic, that shit really sucked but for the Change. The Change truly saved my life. Thank you Jesus.)
