Moving on. I started writing songs when I was very young on a classical Mexican guitar my Nan bought me. 17 or so years of songwriting and performing has been an amazing journey, but something has changed while living out here. I met some amazing friends who started this music project with me. We settled on the name Unconfirmed Reports, and have set out to take over the island with an eclectic mix of indie, roots, rock, folk, and other flavors. Since moving out here, there has been this intensely relentless swell of melody and lyrical ideas crashing around my brain. Also, I have composed a story. A story the centers around two people, but is much, much bigger than that. This story is slowly being unraveled through these songs, and embedded within are various reflections on the social, moral, and everyday fragments of life. I hope over time, these pieces paint a picture that resonates in one way or another. That is the true and naked beauty of music. It can inspire you, bring you to tears, and redefine you. In my case, it inspires me to create. And with that, I give you "Getaway," a small but important part of this story.

Unconfirmed Reports
This isn't strictly a music blog, but I have to say, the West Coast is certainly melding the worlds of nature, art, and expression for me. I started this blog documenting my social, political, and natural observations, and it quickly morphed into my adventures living on the rugged coast of Vancouver Island. The more beauty I see, the more melody dancing around in my head. But don't worry fellow space travelers, baby boomers, fern aficionados, and thought police... there are Orwellian conspiracies lurking around every corner of this blog. Sometimes you just have to look under a rock or two to find them.
