Why Joy Just Because?

In a world over-saturated with reasons we should bury ourselves in blankets and never come out, joyfully creating is my way through. Joy in spite of everything. Joy just because.

I am a small town singer-songwriter, often engaged in climate activism, always entertained by my two kids, and endlessly in awe of the beauty around me on my fifth generation family farm. I write music and other things, I champion local-to-me artists, and I perform in the duo Shannon and Jakeb and with other folks at every opportunity.
