My name is Steven Irwin I live in the middle of a large desert encased by tall mountains and buried under the biggest sky. I make music of the folkish variety, I make mix tapes and hide my heart in them, I also write about songs each morning as a form of meditation and creative discipline. This blog is a catchall for random things I create and otherwise catch my attention, everything I post is original unless specifically noted. There are links listed below to my some of my other projects.
