Richard Lewis Baba Yaga is one of my favorite mythological characters. She's got her own theme song now! Also, Red is a great, twisted out-come for the story of Little Red Riding Hood. And what's not to love about Frog and Toad? "FRIENDS! Not enemies!" Favorite track: Baba Yaga.
Dragonwing

Dragonwing Red - sung by Jody Ellen - was the inspiration and the song I to which I "Killed Bill" at the 2014 Spa CIty Sweethearts. Thank you to my friend Alyssa Rosenbloom for creating a version of the story where Red is not a victim in any sense of the word! Favorite track: Red.

about

This album started as a collaboration between me and Tempest. It grew out of a handful of musical performance pieces, blending music and dance with the purpose of telling a story. The collaboration expanded to include the word-smithing talents of Alyssa Rosenbloom. When I sent her the first draft lyrics for "Gepetto's Lament", she replied with a MUCH better version, and was further motivated to write lyrics for several more songs!

about

Nathaniel Johnstone Seattle, Washington

Multi-instrumentalist Nathaniel Johnstone (violin, viola, banjo, mandolin, and guitar) LOVES to play music with his many musical friends. He's played with many bands and has as yet been unable to settle down with one instrument or musical genre for too long.

Each album is different but there are enough through-lines that you can get a sense of where he's been.
