Spirit and Dust

Folk / Indie / Acoustic

Philadelphia, PA

Billboard

All of my songs express what is in my soul: a longing, a most intimate atonement with the world and a violent wrenching loose, a burning hearkening to one's own dark soul, an intoxicating surrender and a deep curiosity about the miraculous.

Spirit and Dust is my hope that the sounds feel warm in your ears while on the stay or on the go. It is a moniker and mask for storytelling. It is my personal mystical fist in the nose of capitalism, fascism, injustice and fear. It is one of the tools I have discovered for connecting with the world. I hope you dig it.


"And Spirit turned unto the Dust
'Old friend, thou knowest me,'
And Time went out to tell the News
And met Eternity."

Just wanted to drop in, say hi, and THANKS for the support. I'd have gotten back to you sooner, but I've been pretty wrapped up between recording & trying to have something at least resembling a social life, lol. Anyway, DON'T BE A STRANGER ~ now that I'm getting closer to being done, I'm going to try to log in here a little more often. I did post a new track up today, though. ; )
