DOLLARS AND DIMES
North America is many different places. Of course, there are different
states and different provinces, but that’s not really where the big
differences happen. The really fundamental distinctions happen between
the different regions.
One great thing about my job is I get to travel. Mostly on the
highways, and frequently from one end of the country to the other. When
I get to see how the different regions fit together, how they unroll
from end to end, that’s the most interesting travel. Occasionally, if
the booking agent is sadistic enough (or optimistic enough?), I get to
see three or four different regions in three or four days.
I’ve been traveling, playing gigs, and making records for twelve years.
The place where this started for me was Austin, playing at a dark
wooden barroom downtown called O Henry’s Back Forty (now the site of the
downtown Hilton). I’ve worked different jobs, lived in Houston,
Dallas, New York, and Madison, Wisconsin, and made good friends in all
those places.

Like all music you and I have ever enjoyed, Pass of Era seeks to move
you from this world into the visceral realm of human emotion - a place
where you can fully immerse yourself in a journey that builds it's own
reality as time moves forward. That feeling of discovery and passion is
why we are here - to write - to perform - to listen - to share. This is
the world built by three young musicians from Edmonton, Alberta. This is
the story of Pass of Era.
