MY FAVORITE CONCERT EXPERIENCE: I saw CSN at Bethel Woods a few years back, it was amazing to stand on the original site of the Woodstock Music Festival and hear them live.
I WROTE THIS SONG: I have an intense love for Appalachia… its peoples and music. Mountain Man was written as my way of paying homage to the man who chose to live out his life in solitude and was frowned upon by others for that choice. Perhaps I am asking people to stop judging and start listening more.
