about

The overriding message in this collection of songs speaks to the necessity to address the extreme and obscene wealth that has been collected by a handful of ultra rich individuals which has resulted in perpetual wars and the climate crisis and the need to immediately tax and redistribute those resources to mobilize a sustainable future for humanity as a whole. This sentiment continues to be an inspiration for the songwriting project known as eastern rain.
