Evergreen & Blue is a collection of songs all inspired by the beautiful state of Colorado. As a native, I have thoroughly explored the state and was inspired to write original music that reflected experiences, locations, traditions, people, and cultures of the region. The lyrics and melodies found here were carefully crafted to fully embody the important history and scenery of Colorado. Named by Native American peoples, Colorado stands for "color red" after the abundance of red clay soil around the state. The area is rich with color in so many capacities: the purple peak that was inspired by Katherine Lee Bates' lyric, "purple mountain majesties" representing Pikes Peak, the black forest, red rocks, and evergreen and blue landscape that I call home.
