BIOGRAPHY
I returned to Austin in a whirl of instruments, herbs, tapestries and books after a ten-year hiatus from the city of my birth. It had grown exponentially, but that was to be expected; it felt much bigger. I had been living in a camper van for 5 years, travelling along the west coast, playing music wherever would have me-- which on many evenings was simply the edge of the continent, singing for the whales and dolphins and sea lions of the Pacific Ocean. Other times, it was some loud beach bar, resplendent in red velvet and dirty wine glasses. I particularly enjoyed the house concerts, in fern-covered barns in Northern California, with some of the greatest songwriters I had the fortune and luck to stumble upon.
