[Harriet Frost]
Harriet is inspired and drawn to create songs that are lyrical and evocative, which summon questions of the spirit and of the human condition. Her music explores personal, topical, political and spirtual landscapes. They can be humorous, tragic, joyful, ironic, beautiful, and not so beautiful. It's poetry, folk, jazz, rock, spoken word, rap - it is ancient and postmodern.
Her deepest hope is for you to find your own space within the songs and inhabit them. May they resonate for you and may you visit often.

With each thought, he seeks to honor this primal force, uncovering new depths of meaning and expression. Clayton’s work is a journey into the emotional landscapes within him, fueled by a respect for the timeless essence of his cultural heritage. Through his creative pursuits, he gives life to ideas that resonate, drawing others into the richness of the human experience he values so deeply.
