Those are the first lines I sing on my new CD "Another Season." I wanted to begin with that song, "Dance You A Story", because it serves as a statement of purpose for my music--on this, my first CD and in all that's still to come.
Because however much this frenetic, high-tech-obsessed, force-feeding, sensory overload culture might try to dictate the rules, I believe that together we can take a stand for a different way.
I still believe that an intimate, personal acoustic performance of a good song has the power to change our pace and perspective...
...to invite us to spend some time in a place where humanity, thoughtfulness, and imagination are respected and given room to roam...
...maybe even to discover something new about ourselves and each other.
That's the kind of place I tried to create for you with "Another Season."
As I selected the material to include on this recording, I wanted a project that was more than simply a collection of assorted songs. I wanted a record that could be listened to and taken in as a single unit from beginning to end. I wanted lyrical and musical variety, a sense of no song sounding like another, yet all of them fitting together in a unified, coherent whole.
So what I give you on "Another Season" is ten songs, presented with just my voice, and my guitar, recorded with a warm, inviting, intimate sound. Ten songs of searching...and being found.
Won't you join me? There's a moment of truth we can steal.
