A folky solo singer songwriter artist from Concord, NH. Get ready for some guitar, mandolin, banjo, bouzouki, harmonica, and keyboards!

My focus for this challenge is not to write more songs but to simply finish works that are in various stages of completion. Bascially let the junk out of my brain. I've been having a tough time writing new material and I think it's perhaps because of all this clutter of fragmented works.

It's time to unleash the past to focus on the present.

2008 RPM Album Info

Date mailed or hand-delivered:	02/29/2008
Date Received:	03/04/2008
Genre:	Folk
Album Name:	Secrets of Trees
Album Description:	All of these songs were written within the last two years but many were unfinished, lyrically or musically. They represent a number of musical trials where I approach songwriting from many different angles. The recordings themselves vary from rather lush instrumentation to bare bones acoustic and vocal tracks. Some fared better than others. Overall I think the album came out rather well since many of the songs I once considered "b-side" material.
Tracks (w/numbers):	1 - Hippie Song (2:59) 2 - I Won't Know (3:34) 3 - Missing Lines (2:27 4 - Silent Eyes (4:13) 5 - Reaching for Rain (3:46) 6 - End of the Night (3:26) 7 - In My Mind (3:05) 8 - All Along (4:09) 9 - Let Me Go (3:19) 10 - Back Into Me (4:14) 11 - Crazy as I Say (2:55) 12 - Time is on Our Side (2:36) 13 - Everything You See (2:17) 14 - Tame the Wind (3:27)
Preferred Track:	1 - Hippie Song
Band Bio:	I've been writing songs for five years now. All of my instruments except keyboard and some banjo are self taught.
