SUMMARY:Time Sawyer
DESCRIPTION:Time Sawyer’s name reflects the pull between the past and the future. The character Tom Sawyer evokes the rural background and love of home that the band shares. Time is a muse for songwriting; it’s the thread that runs through life\, bringing new experiences and giving us a sense of urgency\, while still connecting us with our past. A folk-rock band whose songs call out the attitudes and behaviors that lead to our divisions – the way that we show understanding to our friends and family\, without thinking about how folks outside our social circle are experiencing their own problems\, and are\, at heart\, just like us.
