Dr. Ford (single)

On July 9th, 2018 President Donald Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her during high school. Three other women also accused him of sexual misconduct. One woman recanted. Kavanaugh denied all accusations. The Senate Judiciary Committee held a supplemental hearing over Ford's allegations. Despite nation-wide protests, on October 6, 2018, the full Senate confirmed Kavanaugh's nomination by a vote of 50–48. Two votes.

1 year later Dr. Ford received the Rodger Baldwin Courage Award at the ACLU of Southern California's annual Bill of Rights dinner.

2 years to the date of Dr. Ford's testimony and completion of this song, Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg died of pancreatic cancer on September 18th, 2020. She dictated a final statement to her granddaughter: "My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."

I Know Now (single)

This horticultural hymn of belonging was micro-brewed with the floral and fauna of the three locations where I grew up: Georgia, Texas, and the Pacific NW.

Emily Ann Peterson (live EP)

Acts of neurological defiance break through creative glass ceilings. This is proof. With roots in Texas & Georgia, Emily Ann Peterson spent over 17 years as a cellist collaboratively writing songs with her colleagues & singing along when asked. That is until late 2013 when she was diagnosed with a degenerative tremor in her right hand. Refusing to resign to fate and genetics, she expanded and wrote these songs.
