Portland, Oregon musician Matthew Voth had an opportunity to go to New Orleans in September of 2005 to work as part of the "relief effort" following hurricanes Katrina and Rita, and was inspired to write about what he saw. The result is a body of work that transcends the event to speak to larger issues that affect the human condition. Reminiscent of early Van Morrison, Neil Young and Ben Harper, this emotive and beautifully crafted music will find it's way to the heart and speak to the soul.
