When I was younger, a little girl all wrapped up in the magic of this place, my favorite book of all time was “My Side of the Mountain.” I’m sure you’ve read it. It’s about a boy who finds himself living away from home in the wilderness of the mountains inside of a giant hollowed [...]

I have been focusing quite a bit of my energy on my music these past few months, getting new songs ready to hit the studio to record another album. I’m pretty excited about the leap I decided to take after realizing, out of the blue it seemed, that I might have enough music, enough stories [...]

Weekends around the ranch, no matter how well intentioned and thought out, are usually pretty unpredictable.

Oh, January you’ve changed haven’t you? Casting long shadows against gold, green and blue tempting us with light jackets and unlined walking shoes Oh, January…what did you do?
