Get your hands dirty, baby And your shirt too. It’s the land that’s the jury, baby Of the way we do the things we do Get your feet wet, baby Are those boots waterproof? Put your style on it, baby

about

SONGS FOR WORK & PLAY

This music is a distillation of my time farming in the Hudson Valley of New York. During that time I detected a latent funkiness amongst the people around me that I'm trying to draw out with these tunes. It's my hope that the music gets under your skin and sticks with you as you go about your day.

This music is meant to be a contemporary take on the old tradition of work songs. Work-songing has been around as long as there's been work to do and people to sing as they do it. More specifically, this music is meant to be a testament to the spirit of farming and of the folks among us that grow the food. I noticed that there wasn't a lot of music out there that celebrates this lifestyle, though is most worth celebration. So all of you agrarians out there, this is for you. Keep on doin' it.
