In the tradition of the classic songwriter rooms like The Bluebird in Nashville, Strange Brew is a gift to the music community in Austin, for artists and audiences alike

Love is the light that can shine so bright.

If you can't play it on an acoustic guitar or a grand piano then it's not a song.

Don't surrender to the dying light; don't take it lying down.

The hurt of a love that is lost has no cure but the love of another heart.

We certainly strive for trying to make a quality record throughout, and I think that's true of all of our records.

The writers that I aspire to, like Joni Mitchell and Randy Newman, they'll tell you that the work gets harder, not easier. And they set that bar for us where we're always striving to do something better than the last time, whether it's the next song or just the next line.
