This enthralling mash-up of folk and alt-country songs examines the contradictory aspects of winter: the warmth of falling snow and the unpredictability of hailstorms. Podge Lane’s captivating storytelling takes us on a delightful musical journey.
The adventure opens with the folky masterpiece “Snow”. The idyllic country ballad is an audio experience that perfectly portrays the wonder of observing snowflakes fall, brought to life through timeless storytelling and living fully in the present moment – an ideal depiction of this winter experience. Enjoy the sound of Podge Lane’s sincere vocals set against a laid-back guitar.
