Yes! More music! and so soon! It's a folksy tune this time around. The band liked it, so I'm sure you will hear a Man & the Mountain version of it at some point in the near future. There might even be a washboard involved if you cross your fingers and wish very hard for it (I know I am!). For you right now, though, I'm going to give you a stripped down version. Just a guy and his guitar.
The idea came from a Longfellow poem. I was going through trying to get some ideas ("A Boy's Will" and such) and came across this tale. Originally its more from the girl's perspective. It tells the story of two people who were destined to be together, except upon their engagement they were forced from their land. The guy sends Evangeline first on a ship (ends up being a pretty big mistake). They spend a lot of time waiting and looking for each other. I won't ruin the ending. Go read it! I do like me some Longfellow. The song switches plot points around a bit, but the names of the innocent were not changed for their protection:
We're talking to some sound engineers now about getting a studio recording of this which we can release soon. I thought I'd let you hear it first. A "behind the scenes" look, if you will.

Check out M&tM EP!
Happy New Year's!
I hope you're having a great one. So far so good for me - though I did just spend the morning writing a song about the sun and how it brings to life and then burns up everything it touches. It's really dark (figuratively). But it's just a morning mood thing, it's really rainy and wintry outside right now. Maybe I was just sun sick.
Anyways, this year is looking like it's going to be a big one for me. I'm going to be able to step up my music game in a big way, and I'm very excited to share it with you! We have a few recordings that my band M&tM is getting ready to release very soon. I'll post links here along with my social media accounts so be watching for it.
Now, however, is a time to catch you up on stuff I've already released. My band Man & the Mountain recently released our EP entitled "Songbird". It's available for download now if you haven't been able to get a hold of it yet. If you like my music - then you will definitely want to check it out. Click on the cover and it will take you there.
