One thing I'm thankful for today.
I get to work with some amazing folks, including Marshall Altman, who produced both my last album (The House You’re Building) and this upcoming new one (Heart). I can’t overemphasize how much of an impact Marshall’s had on my life…he’s been such a dear friend to me and Billy, opened his home to us, shared his family with us…(Lela, Alex, Stella, we love you...

a followup.
I feel like I need to make a statement, due to the unforeseen intensity of reaction to my post earlier: Disagreeing publicly with someone doesn’t mean I hate them, that I don’t consider them my brother, or that I see absolutely nothing good in what they believe. I thought those were givens, but I guess not. So I’ll say that officially here. Those who are upset by me taking a...

The Innocence Mission - and, why I write music. →
As for the first—I am just beginning to dive into this band’s work, and enjoying it. Check ‘em out. Listening to “Glow” today.
As for the second, this blog (written from an atheistic perspective) put into words for me today the reason I write music—to explore and wonder at my own human experience—including my faith.
