Two Rivers
Liner notes
An atmospheric midwestern folk ballad driven by acoustic guitar, mandolin, and gentle fiddle, sung in warm, reflective male vocals. Early dawn breaks over the confluence where the East Twin and West Twin Rivers flow together out toward Lake Michigan, as an old angler steps onto the chilly sands of Neshotah Beach. A brisk eastern wind sweeps across the harbor, stirring quiet memories of long seasons spent hauling nets and living alongside the freshwater waves. The song swells with resonant harmonies and a bittersweet, contemplative finish as the shoreline fog slowly burns away under the morning sun.
