“Woodsong Wanderlust” is an original composed and filmed in the wooded mountains of Montreat, NC. I journeyed into these mountains to seek renewal and purpose. I emerged with a resolve that every note I play communicates love, hope, and healing. This tune is included on my new album “Woodland Dance”.

Exciting news! Woodland Dance will be played on Public Radio’s Living on Earth during the 5/6/16 weekly show. The show airs on over 300 public radio stations nationwide and reaches 80% of the United States.
