Glen Haven
Liner notes
A gentle folk country tune about Glen Haven, Wisconsin, nestled quietly along the Mississippi River. The song tells the story of a town once called Stump Town, now a peaceful haven beneath the wooded bluffs. Acoustic guitars and a soft vocal delivery capture the serene river views, the old boat launch, and the legacy of Scottish immigrants who named the valley.
