Recommended Listening

Much of my favorite music is made by people with day jobs, or independent musicians who tour relentlessly to support themselves. We've been fortunate enough to present some of these folks at our house concert series. They're heroes to me not just because they're largely overlooked and underappreciated, but also because their music makes my life better. Simple as that.
