My 2003 debut album filled with my feelings about the state of my nation in the years immediately following the events of 9/11/2001. For a brief moment, we came together as a people. Then we withdrew to our polarized sides and our physical, emotional and political comfort zones. Many of us looked for a way to meaningfully participate and support each other through this period. I approach these topics with depth, humor and diverse rock styles. I was joined with collaborators from the American south, northwest and England.
