Cactus Blossoms and Stoughton Opera House: A Harmonious Union

As I sit here reflecting on life's journey, I am reminded of the wise words of my mother, who once described this stage as 'a time when we turn from gazing into the future to gazing back at the past, as if we're adrift in the current, slowly turning around.' It's a poignant observation that resonates deeply with me, and one that I believe many can relate to.

This introspective period has been an inspiration for my music, particularly on my new album, 'Last of the Better Days Ahead.' Released on Smithsonian Folkways, a non-profit record label of the Smithsonian Institute, this collection of songs is a way for me to make sense of these times. I have found solace in exploring the connection between memory and imagination, and how they shape our understanding of ourselves.

As I delve into my own experiences, I am reminded that our lives are comprised of countless moments, each one influencing who we become and what we learn from them. It's a complex web of memories, both vivid and fleeting, which inform our perceptions of the world around us.

The songs on 'Last of the Better Days Ahead' reflect this introspection, weaving together tales of love, loss, and self-discovery. They are a testament to the human experience, full of triumphs and struggles, and the ways in which we find meaning in the journey.

I am thrilled to share these stories with audiences at the Stoughton Opera House, a venue that has been a staple of the community for generations. With its rich history and intimate atmosphere, it is the perfect setting to connect with others who have walked similar paths.

Join me on this sonic journey as we explore the complexities of life through music and storytelling. Let us come together to celebrate our shared experiences and find solace in the power of song.
