about

This album was conceived in the mountains of the Boise National Forest, written originally on that trusty banjo I was speaking of. But these songs wouldn’t be what they are without the heart and soul that my dear friends listed below showed from the day we first gathered to busk on the Boise Greenbelt to that final night in the studio. This album is just as much theirs as it is mine. Special thanks to my best friend Caltin Cross, whose pioneer soul has always been there for me through times good and bad. “Take Me Home” will forever be a song in your honor.

Thank you to Myles Davis, Sef Idle, and Simpul Studio for running the show and getting this sucker laid down right. And lastly, thank you - yes, you - for showing up and lending an ear these past few years and giving this fireside strummer the courage to showcase these songs in a more manifested way. Now pass around that bottle and put an ear to Ponderosa.
