We are blessed and sustained by what is not said

I am not doing something that it is experimental music in relation to classical music.

Families of privilege and money would have harps in their parlors, and their cultured daughters would learn to play. It's got such a strange history. But that wasn't the context that I learned it in, so the inherent friction between that history and the more humanist folk-y history wasn't in my conscience at all.

I have writing songs on my own for about six years.

I want to make music that somehow connects to the things that I love in America music.

I played piano for about two years when I was a kid. I didn't play long enough to be really great.

I am always trying to write.
