Song Tree

Casey's Corner

Song Tree presents the idea that a song is alive. An artist should release many versions of a composition. Songs change as they are performed and are never really finished. By creating this archive I’m using Song Tree to show the larger effort that goes into recording music. I ask that if you like the music contribute by playing my songs.

Famously, my lover told me my music on repeat was inconvenient. Go for a walk, honey or get a car - you're driving me crazy!

Where is You?

Boise Mix

Written about my falling out with employment in Chicago then going to sleep on my grandma's couch in Pittsburgh; and the lowness I learned about humanity from colleagues at Grinnell College.
