Over the past few years, I have spent a lot of time thinking about my childhood in rural Massachusetts and how it has affected my approach to work, art and music.
So many seminal moments of my young life were framed by working out in the yard with my Father, doing many of the chores that I composed tunes about. That and the trusty tractor that we had to do everything we need to do.
I hope this record conveys the history and storytelling from my childhood that was only possible with such a spectacular band of dear, trusted friends.
