Americana Wanderer

Music of the people, by the people, and for the people tells a story. Our nation has built its own way from out of the dust. Tales of life, liberty, and the pursuit of a place to rest your weary bones.

This is a blog devoted to Folk Music.

Originally this blog was to catalog my obsession with Joe Purdy , my favorite Folk Singer. Utilizing his music I'd eek out both the true and mystical happenings of my own life, I've now switched over to all Folk music. From Guthrie to the Tallest man on Earth, the American Mythos will be represented here, though probably in heaps of Dylan, Purdy, and Bon Iver.

Bouts of Jeff Buckley, Ben Folds, Coldplay, and John Mayer may also appear out from the aether...

"The spirit of our people's has yet to be reckoned,
As we seek out the true nature and beauty of our legend,
From Tennessee to California and Texas to Montana,
We wander endlessly through an infinite Americana..."

I play music: Stephen Michael

  • In my mind there’s a perfect little place that I own in the center of some perfect little town. On perfect Sunday mornings I walk with my perfect girl hand-in-hand down it’s perfect Main Street.

    And all day we lounge in the grass and laugh in the sun and eat at the best restaurants and sip the best coffee and chat with our friends.

    At night we play music and have a good ol’ time then go back to my house to relax in my perfect back yard. And no one worries and there are no problems…

    Do I still believe perfect exists? Yes, I’d have to have something like that in my mind to keep going through times like these…
