You have to have a vision and know that it's worth seeing it through. Other than that, just be true to your heart.

I want to build a treehouse village connected by bridges in the woods by my house so my friends have a place to stay.

The people of Iowa are a rare breed.

I love writing and photography and the natural world that inspires them both. I'm working on getting as lost as I can in the beauty before it is completely wiped clean by the madness of man.

I really think that people are getting fed up with the computer generated music. I think it had a little time where it was new and it kind of worked, but it's so overdone that people are getting sick of it, and are turning back to real music.

On tour I'm finding out that I am half gypsy, 40% vagabond, and 10 house cat.

I started writing when I was 17. I got an acoustic guitar for my birthday after I discovered Bob Dylan and James Taylor.
