“A view from nowhere “ I originally met at the open mic hosted by she came in later that evening and started jamming with some musicians she’d never met. I immediately was inspired and impressed by her talent. I asked her to play at anniversary event to do a live workshop. She chose to play on and when she started playing I had to remind myself not to cry. 5 months later her parts have transformed my music and added layers of dynamics and inspiration at every strum. A view from nowhere is no exception, Carolyn viscerally hears the message and is able to pull out things I’ve only heard in my heart without ever rehearsing. This is the point of the encypher & friends shows to see where the music can guide us from the silent parts of our soul connected in music. I’m grateful to have met her and share the stage and continue to learn from her talent. Come visit the open mic on Thursdays and get more of a glimpse of her multi talent in person. This recording was from a women in music event hosted by who has also introduced me to a wonderful music community that I am fortunate to be a part of. Reparable hearts through the arts there is light after the dark. Isolation silences us while community heals.

“Rest of them” featuring I wrote this song (1st verse and chorus only ) in 2018 while working through some different types of grief. I revisited it and wrote the second chorus and bridge while dealing with new grief in 2023. I’ve played with many people since starting this “Reparable hearts tour” for but there’s something that happens when I play with Carolyn, the choices she makes just pulls the guts out of me and I always say in my head when the violin starts “don’t cry now ”. She is immensely and intensely talented, I am beyond honored and grateful that she has accepted any invitation to share the stage and add her visceral language with my music. Her talent is sent from above and I am so blessed to have her accompaniment as a “Reparable hearts solder” on this journey.

When I wrote this song “A view from nowhere” I knew I wanted .music to be a part of it. His visceral melodic screams I could hear playing over and over in my head. I’m grateful he found the essence of this song during this workshop and I’m grateful he’s got my back. connecting the thread. 🪡

While I’m still editing the anniversary event from November (over 6 hrs of footage). This has to be one of the moments that just changed everything. A live workshop with new friends and old friends collaborating on a song that I wrote music with my late mother about 20 years ago. I wrote the title and the lyrics after she died and it truly is one of the best gifts that I’ve gotten from this unimaginable grief. Standing up there with my daughter and talented, musical friends creating this amazing moment that touched every single person in the room to the heavens above. This is what it’s about. This is why I’m doing what I’m doing. Please continue to join me on this journey singing for the ones in silence, raising our voices as reparable heart soldiers. Reparable hearts through the arts, there is light after the dark. Isolation silences us while community heals. Come out and experience this again on the Reparable Hearts Soldier tour.
