Starter Kit

about

Starter Kit: Songs and Chants for Practical Purposes is an organic mix of songs and chants composed between 2009 and 2013. It includes folk songs with a spiritual bent and chants in the zikr and kirtan traditions. I call the sound "homegrown," because it combines the writing styles and music forms I've been most interested in over the past few years, and because it was recorded (with the incredible help of Jen F. of Windhorse Studios) in a homey environment and with an intention of simplicity. I like what's called "people's music," music that people can use; if this music is useful or speaks to you, then I'll be very glad. These songs also reflect the influences of the Appalachian and Ozark regions where I "grew up" physically and spiritually, so don't be surprised at the occasional twang. ;-)
