Influences: hungry children, a warm sun with a cool breeze, uncertainty, sanity, lucid dreams, a vunerable man, fears and strengths, rain on a tin roof, snow, what makes a human being strong, driving through the desert, a f-ing good movie, love, hot chocolate and cozy socks while reading: to kill a mockingbird, the bell jar, life of pi, the secret history, one day in the life of ivan denisovich, the little friend, written on the body, the alchemist, the stone gods, into the wild, me talk pretty one day or anything by david sedaris. the following places, people, things, and eras of music: history, london, paris, the french riviera, vencencia, roma, tibet, ireland, belarus & russia, the st. john farm, southern gospel, old blues, old jazz, old country, catholic guilt, my mother and father, my 17 siblings, my insanely brilliant bambino, the old magnolia tree with that long branch I used to sleep in as a child that caused me to dream for days on end....... and the names of the musicians below ... have all put a big fat voodoo curse on me: billie holiday, chet baker, ray charles, bob dylan, aretha franklin, nina simone, joni mitchell, tom waits, ryan adams, etta james, bonnie raitt, johnny cash, lucinda williams, hank williams sr., darrell scott, shawn colvin, fiona apple, rufus wainwright, t.j.d., shelby lynn, dayna kurtz, ani difranco, patty griffin, elliot smith, ray lamontagne, damien rice, ludwig von f-ing beethoven, and on, and on, and on ... oh, and this guy.... "I prefer to learn everything through music. If you want divinity, the music in every human being and their love for music is pretty much it. It’s the big indication of their spirituality and their ability to love and make love, or feel pain or joy, and really manifest it, really be real...you have an Eden immediately from the time you are born, but as you are conditioned by your caretakers and your surroundings, you may lose that original thing. Your task is to get back to it, to claim responsibility for your own perfection." -Jeff Buckley Sounds Like: whatever your ears hear, my dear .. Record Label: RadarProof Type of Label: Indie |
