About this project

Music is a tree and musicians are a family.  

On this journey, we meet many people who help us shape our own personal musical family tree and every one plays an important role. It could be someone early on who turns you on to music that changes your life, a fellow musician whom you perform with every night or even sometimes, if you're lucky, one of your musical idols. Once that connection happens, that person is forever considered "family."

Welcome to the Family Tree project. Houston Person is one of those people. Houston and my brother Jeff were the perfect example of brothers from another mother brought together through music to truly become family.  

Houston and I have been talking about recording an album together for years now and the time has fiinally come. In additon to creating new music together, we will also be visiting and sharing the stories of our musical family tree with you through ArtistShare.  

Please join us and be a part of the Family Tree.

 

Thank you to all of the participants!
