This was such a fun conversation, and a poignant ride on a Time Machine back to 2006, when my record Change was released. The album features Stephanie Winters, a close friend and brilliant cellist, with Chris Rosser in the producer’s chair. It’s unlike any other record I’ve made, and I love looking back on it. […]
Gearing Up for TEDx Asheville
Here’s the “Sizzle Reel” that the amazing organizers of TEDx Asheville 2024 put together. The theme for this year’s gathering is “Meet the Moment,” and all 450 seats at the Wortham Center are sold out. Really looking forward to this!
‘A Look Within’ podcast
If you have a half-hour drive coming up, I’d love to ride along. I really enjoyed this podcast interview by David Diana on the show he hosts, A Look Within, from the South Carolina Department of Mental Health. David is a great conversation partner. I hope you will enjoy listening in. All good things, David
A new video and a few songs for Valentine’s Day
Yeah, I know… it’s a Hallmark holiday, but it’s a good excuse to share a few love songs. The big news, though, is the unveiling of a new video for my song The Way It’s Done. Beth Wood sang with me on this one on Still, and months later, we shot a video together. I […]

All three of us are songwriters and have musical careers on our own, but we have gathered together from time to time over the last dozen years or so to make music together. We are not currently touring, but […]
You’re gonna need a bigger stocking…
…if you’re trying to put Wyoming in there, or Montreat, or Guatemala, or Scotland. If you need things that really do fit in stockings, I can hook you up on bookmarks, guitar pick tins full of guitar picks, or bumper stickers, CDs, books, etc., but, as someone once wrote in a song, “there’s no present […]
The Seasons Project
I’ve been a fan of Christine Lavin’s since I first discovered her music in the early nineties. She’s insightful, sings and plays beautifully, and she is incredibly, side-splittingly funny (often ending her concerts with a baton-twirling routine). A great entertainer, and, as I’ve discovered more recently, a wonderful human. I kind of guessed that last […]
