This Sunday, we will also be featuring live music! Our guest musician will be Wesley Blondin-Doan, whose stage name is Kid Grit. Kid Grit's folk songs are quiet and pensive reflections of a life lived. From the depths of isolation possible in a digital age, to the heights of exaltation, living and growing up in nature. His music travels through the processes of life and how we heal, through gentle whisperings, swelling warm harmonies, and sometimes painful personal admissions - attempting to find peace and truth in the smallest of things.
