about

Mike Hoffmann left early for the sky while we were finding the flow with this recording. He was a blindingly gifted musician, and an honest friend. He will forever be missed by all of us.Thanks to Billy Crockett & Kevin Arndt for helping me get this project back on track and to Roger Townsend who stepped in to help push the car up the hill. This record simply would not exist without the power, love, skills and collective wisdom of my band. Thanks to John Haye and Brad Buffoni for their insight and generous support. Gratitude to Monica Mansfield for the studio snacks. Thanks also to Brad Raley at Black Oak Artists, as well as Martin & Nikki Woodhead at Image Acoustic. Thanks to Gordy Bischoff, Kevin Muiderman and Jason Kostal for the wonderful guitars, and thanks to Denny & River at Rauen Guitars for maintaining them. Thanks to everyone at D’Addario Strings and the gang at Fishman. Thanks to Chris Webb for making sense out of all of it. Finally, thanks to Catherine, Lizzie, Liam, Charlie and the extended Porter clan for the gravity and grace. Thank you, Chas Wetherbee. You will forever be an inspiration.

In Loving memory of Myles Swensen Porter. Que a luz do amor de Deus te guie sempre
