The older I get, the more I realize that the most beautiful dreams are measured not by what we own. They envision children who grow into good people. A marriage that weathers hard seasons. A clear conscience, and the joy of making someone you love smile.
"Poor Man’s Dream" is a song about the quiet wealth that comes from the important stuff. I hope you’ll give it a listen.

"Moonlight Motel," my favorite song on Springsteen's, "Western Stars."

There are seasons in life when, by every measure, things should finally feel okay. The struggles ease. Love arrives. Dreams come true. The future opens up. And yet, sometimes, a quiet sadness still follows us. "Mysterious Sorrow" is a song about that unexplainable ache — the kind that lives alongside gratitude, hope, family, and joy. Not because life is broken, but because being human is complicated. If you feel that sorrow sometimes too, I hope this song makes you feel less alone.

Remember when kicking a stone down the road was all the entertainment you needed as a kid? This song's about that.

Look what's coming to Goodfolk this fall! No alcohol yet, but water, sodas, snacks and Goodfolk merch. People have been asking for all of that.

Just felt like playing this one that I wrote for Jimmy a few year back. "Victim of Love."

As we get older, we begin to realize how much of life is carried through memory — the voices we remember, the streets we walked, the people who shaped us in ways no one else can fully see. "Gardens and Graves," from my latest album, is a reflection on what remains after we’re gone: the love we gave, the families we built, the meals we shared, the flowers we planted, and the hope that someone, somewhere, will remember. Maybe being remembered isn’t really about fame or legacy. Maybe it’s simply about having mattered to one another. I hope this song speaks to something tender and true in your own life.

“I auditioned for Clive Davis almost 40 years ago. I never got a record deal, but we became dear friends. Many years ago, he asked if I would speak at his service when he passed. I hope the day would never come. But last week it did. These are my remarks that I shared at his funeral on Monday in New York.” Dan Pallotta, Founder of Goodfolk (Link in comments https://youtu.be/kpRmB28USUI )
