I have been connected to the folk and acoustic music scene for the past 35-40 years and I have decided later in life to step out with creating my own music and joining the community of intentional artistic creators. Drifting To The Right is a cautionary album about what could happen if people don't embrace necessary change and close their hearts to others who are not like them.
