The other day, my mother and I were procrastinating together by taking a lovely evening stroll through downtown Camden, Maine. We should have been packing to go to Jenny Brook Bluegrass Festival, but we didn't have much to do and neither of us could muster the focus to do it. So we went out and... Continue Reading →
Geez, I'm so behind on my blogging, I don't know where to begin. There are so many things that have happened, so many feelings I want to share, so many moments I want to preserve. How do I prioritize that bundle of highs and lows? How do I sort through the slurry of triumph and... Continue Reading →
Last year, my band Miners Creek played the second stage at a small festival in Hanson, MA called Bluegrass on the Bogs. This is a great little festival put on at a place called Camp Kiwanee bordering an old cranberry bog (absolutely gorgeous scenery).

We may not make our stretch goal of $3,000, but I'm relieved we achieved this much. We took a gamble and so far it's paying off. Sure, there's... Continue Reading →
I have a very vivid memory of my thirteenth birthday. It was an overcast day and the living room in our house in Kirksville, MO was dark. I remember that clearly though I can't remember who I'd invited to my party. I know who must have been there, but I can't see them in the... Continue Reading →
I've spent the last week obsessively checking the progress of our Kickstarter campaign (if you're interested in checking out the campaign, follow this link). The first two days, I glanced at my phone every few minutes: "Did we get a new backer? How much did they back us for? What reward level did they... Continue Reading →

I've recently become something of a Goodreads addict. For those of you who don't know Goodreads is like Facebook for people who read a lot. You can rate, review, and recommend books to your friends. You can find new books that you might not otherwise have heard of. You can keep track of all the... Continue Reading →
