Intrepid Listener,
Every song is a hero’s journey - An attempt to go deep into the dark within and through the difficulties, find the treasure we perhaps didn’t know we were looking for, and return home with newfound wisdom and a tale to tell.
Pioneer Mother chooses this journey together. We cross beyond the comfort zone of home and quest for inspirational magic, to be guided by our hearts and the stars, and to turn experience into wisdom for ourselves and the listener. We stand at the threshold of our adventure. And we choose to answer the call.
We hope our music inspires you to answer your own call to adventure, however it manifests in your unique story. Life is extraordinary when you choose to follow the journey. We hope you find magic and allies, good friends to laugh with along the way, and your lessons and losses be few. Don’t leave yourself to wonder where the path may have led you. Can you hear the call?
Thank you for listening. And good luck on your journey! We'll be sure to meet you somewhere down the road ahead.
Love,
Your Pioneer Mother
