BROKEDOWN PALACE
We released our first album in January of 2019 in response to living through these wild times. There are songs about finding strength in community, remembering that love is the answer, and exploring equanimity via the teachings on inter-being and impermanence. You'll also find, a cover of one of our favorite Dead tunes and a song written for Christine Blasey Ford and all the other survivors out there.

INCURABLE LOVE
Our second album is a companion to "Brokedown Palace". It, too, contains anthems of strength and resistance, explorations of loss and grief, and of course some love songs. We're exploring all the big scary feels, plus all the joy and potential. We've also included another Grateful Dead cover and a Dharma ode to liberation.

LOVE IS NEVER GONE
In the early weeks of 2025, I read a piece by Timothy Snyder entitled, “The Logic of Destruction and How to Resist It”, in which he says, "Make sure you are talking to people and doing something…. Do not be alone and do not be dismayed. Find someone who is doing something you admire and join them.” His words and sentiment immediately made me feel less alone and less despairing, and inspired this song. Songcrafting has always been my primary way of processing and making sense of internal and external turmoil. And making art takes on special significance in times such as these. Creative expression is in direct opposition to the powers that desire to control, minimize, depersonalize, dehumanize, and numb the essence of what makes us most human. Love is never gone!

THE TULE ELK SONG
I wrote this song to support the movement to save the indigenous Tule elk in Point Reyes National Park (public land) from the threat of starvation and murder as a result of the private dairy and meat ranching industries' stronghold on our public lands. And guess what!?!...after years of activism by many collaborating groups, the ranches are being removed from the National Seashore and the Tule Elk will be free to roam and the park will begin to return to its former biodiversity and health! Love and activism do work!

THE PLANT BASED TREATY SONG
I wrote this song to support the Plant Based Treaty movement, which encourages individuals, businesses, celebrities, politicians, city governments (everyone!) to endorse the treaty and commit to a plant-based lifestyle and business model as a reasonable, doable, effective (and dare I say necessary?) response to climate change, species decimation, and loss of biodiversity. In other words...for humanity to have a future on this amazing planet we share with countless beautiful beings!
