about

At once a requiem, celebration and love letter in 12 songs, Linden Tree near the Water is a troubadour’s outpouring of love and loss laced with faith and hope—and an attempt to heal a harrowing fracture that left two hurting souls hurting even more.

Taking the DIY ethos to its ultimate conclusion, Vern wrote, played and produced everything while doubling as recording engineer at The Grinning Zone. While still rooted in classic rock and his trademark melodicism, these songs find him exploring a mellow, more organic sound with predominantly acoustic instrumentation. That said, this is not a sparse folk record. Much of the material has been given the full-band treatment (bass, drums, guitars, keyboards and percussion) along with such exotica as dulcimer, mandolin and recorder. Spanning the full spectrum of folk-rock with delicate ballads, crunching power pop, foot-stomping bluegrass, Byrdsian jangle and medieval Brit-folk, Linden Tree near the Water shows, in spectacular and sonorous fashion, that life’s messiest muck can be transformed into pearls.
