This last of four unique shows highlights Winter, the new moon, and the North, where life heads to be reborn, a land of the ancestors, a place of knowledge and magic. Winter in the mountains is intense. Rugged beauty of the entire landscape dressed in blankets of white, snuggled in for months. The true and trying time. The rest of the year has led to this point, to this challenge of survival and a chance for even deeper growth. The bears find a den. The bison revel in their massive shoulders and thick coat, unusually happy and steady compared to other beings living through the tough mountain winters.

Shaila was produced by the powerfully brilliant Gretchen Pleuss, and her attention to subtlety and sonic perspective brought such incredible beauty to this record. She helped to sonically bring these sacred mountains to life.
Recorded amazingly by Jason Chamberlain at Studio 1008 in Kenmore, and was easily the best recording experience I’ve been part of it.
Featuring the talent of Holbrook Riles III, Matthew DeRubertis, Dan Kyshwanis, Ray Flanagan, Charlie Trenta, Phillip Anderson, and Gina Wilson, as well as the heavenly voice of Gretchen Pleuss.
Mixed by Jason Chamberlain, Gretchen Pleuss, and me, and mastered by Tommy Wiggins. Cover imagery by Kevin Richards, from a few of my photographs in Wyoming.
