about
In June 2015 Solange and I bought a conversion van off of Craigslist. One month later we’d gotten rid of 95% of our belongings, quit our jobs, left our apartment, and were living in the van full-time on the road following a shared dream of making a life in music. We spent two years living in that van together with our two dogs, traveling with the seasons up and down the west coast and cross country.
We’ve been settled in an apartment in Portland, OR for some years now, but I always feel like those years on the road are still alive in me. When I close my eyes I can see rain slapping the windshield wipers and feel the warm relief of neon signs after a long night of driving. I feel like every song that I write now has in it somewhere a love poem written to the road. To me “Highway Forever” is a nostalgic anthem of the traveling musician’s life, a life that is measured in miles of highway and built in following an irresistible dream.

lyrics
We keep on driving
Like two faded ghosts
On the highway
Highway forever
Singing to the radio
Down on the wayside
But i don’t mind living low
Blooming in the quiet light
Heartbeat in the neon night
Pining but it feels like home
Longing that I’ve always known
Highway forever
Highway forever
There’s rain
On the windshield
That’s blurring
All the lines
Oh and I can’t
I can’t see nothing
But I’m looking up ahead for lights
We may not make it
But honey they’ll say we tried
Blooming in the quiet light
Heartbeat in the neon night
Pining but it feels like home
Longing that I’ve always known
Blooming in the quiet light
Heartbeat in the neon night
Find me on a lonely road
Been lost but its all I know

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
Will Stewart’s “County Seat” is full of richly-detailed songs that split the difference between Americana & classic college rock. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 7, 2018
