Today I turn 38 (this album's release date). When reflecting on life this week I realized something:

Over the past 8 years I’ve released 8 albums.

Before that, when I turned 30 I had crisis of profession. I wasn’t sure if being a musician/singer-songwriter was going to be good for my family. Our first baby was on the way and I had always treated this part of my life as a hobby. I wrote songs and shared them locally but I never went beyond our pocket of friends with any intention. Yet I had this strong pull that I needed to be giving room for more of this in my life.

Then I had a transformative conversation with a friend.

He let me know, “Tim, this is the year of the baby. You’re going to have your first child. And then you’re going to let this other child known as your ‘creative career’ out of the closet you’ve had it locked up in.”

Really, someone’s respected opinion that I could DO IT was all I needed.

I created a website. I shared my music online. I played shows and gathered emails. I went on my first tour (to Kansas! because it was home!) It was a turning point for me where I stopped talking about what I wanted to do as singer/songwriter and started actually doing it.

Collected here are songs that are favorites of mine and the people who listen in. In the fields of everything I’ve released these are moments that rise a little bit higher in their season. Hence the name, Haystacks.
