About the Album
“Long River” was written about the River of Life. Despite our differences,
and the vast variations in our personal histories, we are all floating down this river together. We are all
connected in this way; We have all shared the same beginning, and we will all share the same end. This
analogy is the focal point on which this album of completely original songs is based. A multitude of
stories, experiences and emotions of joy, pain, triumph, anger, love, embarrassment, and humour are
reflected throughout.
Much like life, Blues music is also a river. Blues is at the root of all modern North American forms of
music, and its influence has flowed into the creation of many genres we know and love today; including:
Rock, R&B, Soul, Folk, Americana, Jazz, Gospel, Bluegrass, and many more. This album is not only a
beginning to an exploration of the current human condition, but an exploration and consolidation of the
many forms of blues, and blues influenced music.
