Still River Rising

Laid-back soul. Mountain water grooves.
Songs born from firelight and low currents pushing upward.

About

Still River Rising is music for the space between stillness and motion — where campfire circles open into song, where quiet rivers gather strength, where the night hums with patient, slow-burning energy.

Drawing from the spirit of the Grateful Dead's flow, JJ Cale's grooves, and Neil Young's emotional honesty, these songs move like water finding its way forward — unhurried but alive, carrying both weariness and renewal in the same breath. Earthy acoustic guitar, bluesy bends, and spacious grooves leave room for air, memory, and the kind of instrumental drifting that feels like time stretching out.

This music doesn't perform at you — it invites you inside. Whether gathered around firelight or drifting through headphones, there's an intimacy here that feels both deeply personal and universally shared. Songs about resilience and longing, about the steady climb after the fall, about the pulse that keeps going even when the current runs low.

This is river music: patient, alive, rising. And just when you think it's still, it starts to move.
