The back up vocals were overdubbed by Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz, except on "Por Caer". That's all me.

I am a fiddler and banjo player, and I love to sing. I grew up in Winston-Salem, NC, and I learned to play in high school from some of the greatest musicians out there. I'm lucky to be from that region of the state. I always intended to make it off music, but then I got really into languages when I was in college, and I lived abroad in Spain for a couple years. I lived in Japan for another couple years after graduating from UNC Chapel Hill, and I was an English teacher in a remote village in the Japanese Alps, Kamimura. To make a long story short, I'm a musician and language/culture lover, and I either make money off of gigs, or teaching/interpreting Spanish, Japanese and English. I play lots of gigs here in NC, and I tour around the country playing fiddle with Town Mountain. That's a little about me...
El pasado martes 16 de Junio participé en el evento Subcutaneo "acciones bajo la piel de la ciudad" con el performance llamado PINGSPLASH en las vitrinas del metro Pino Suárez en la ciudad de México.
La acción consitió en rebotar una pelota de hule mojada con pintura por aprox 6-7 horas. Al botar la pelota yo gritaba pero el sonido se generaba desde mi estómago dando así fuerza al lanzamiento de la pelota. El concepto fue llevar mi cuerpo a un extremo con esta acción repetitiva y como objetivo fue pintar la vitrina con los resultados azarosos de los rebotes y la salpicada de pintura en el lanzamiento.
Después de esto soy TherezaPollock (¡ajajaja!) Besos muchos, abrazos ¡¡mas!!

“La imagen mental o la idea de la vida autosostenida continua e incesante que significa en general la autosuficiencia para el individuo, vida eterna, autosostenida y autosuficiente; el sentir y el amar corresponde al corazón. Sangre arterial amor a los demás, sangre venosa amor a mí misma.”
