A song my dad wrote in 1979. I wrote a new melody and arrangement this year. We swear an oath to the constitution, not an individual or a party. Casey Schmidl-Gagne on bass. #musiciansky #folksong #originalsong #democracy #WeThePeople #singersongwriter

A song my dad wrote in 1981 with a new melody I wrote in 2026. Between my guitar steadily going out of tune and me repeating a lyric because I choked on a chord after the break, it’s far from perfect, but Casey Schmidl-Gagne held it together. I updated one word in the final chorus... #protestmusic

It's Leonard Cohen's birthday so I'm sharing this again. One of my favorite songs from one of the greatest poets. May we never forget what he gave us. #leonardcohencover

This is my most recent composition, mistakes and all. Let me know what you think! Should I prioritize recording this one? #folkmusic #originalmusic #unreleased #livemusic #keenemusicfest #protestsong

Keene Music Fest was a great time this year, as always. It's wonderful how much original music is being made in our region. Here's the last verse and chorus of my opening song from this year's set...

A tiny snippet from last night to preview the end of my set this coming Saturday! So excited to get to perform this song live again with the help of my friends Patrice and Casey. I'll be performing from 1-2PM at the Co-op Stage during Keene Music Festival and my friends will join me on some songs!

Last Friday, we had to say goodbye to our sweet kitty because of a sudden health crisis. I wrote this for him in happier times. What was a silly little song feels different now. I hope this brings comfort to other folks grieving cat friends. (Sound on 🔊) #RainbowBridge #CatSong #CatLoss #CatHeaven

I never did let the band play this song. Finally sang it at an open mic. Too aggressive? Should it go back on the shelf? #antifolk #limerencefolk #therapyrock #indiemusic #openmic #singersongwriter

Justify
by Trinity Nay

Oh they will rip your neighbors away
And if you protest they’ll just shoot you in the face
Cuz if you wouldn’t comply
Well then you must’ve deserved to die
They’ll justify
How you deserved to die
They’ll justify
How you deserved to die

They’ll ignore any words that you said
That don’t support their assertion that you had an ill intent
If you’re afraid, you must remain calm
But if they’re angry or afraid then they’ll quickly draw a gun
And justify 
How you deserved to die
They’ll justify
How you deserved to die

This has been the plan in place all along
To provoke a response that they’ll violently tamp down
Breaking spirits to lock in control
When we’re too afraid to resist, they’ve finally met their goal
and justify 
How we deserve to die
They’ll justify
How we deserve to die
