The Music Today and Thoughts on Life
Todd Alan's music has always focused on healing and love for our planet. Earth Changes continues in this tradition while celebrating the divine forces at work in the universe. Themes range from reincarnation to deep-in-the-woods bonfire drumming calling us together to create a better world. Some songs are traditional folk/rock Todd Alan styling with interwoven vocal harmonies and offbeat percussive primitive rhythms. The rock banjo stylings grace the CD with a unique progressive rock/folk/country blended sound. More mainstream audiences can also identify with these upbeat grooves that sing of a new way and new time for all people. All in all, it's an album for the nature loving community that can also be shared with a public awakening to the fact that it's time to change the way we live.

It was the year 1994. An opportunity arose while I was attending and performing at the 16th Starwood Festival. At this event there were professional videographers and I had a connection through a friend so I made arrangements with a video cameraman to help shoot music video footages for this song. We set a time for the video shooting and hung signs in the porta-potties, letting people know to meet at the Nemeton at the arranged time. All who arrived were welcome. Everyone then signed release forms and danced along as we shot this video footage. Life and financial circumstances got in the way of any final editing as video editing was so expensive at that time. After 25 years, we had the 3/4” Umatic tapes converted to digital, and finally were able to complete this time capsule of a Starwood Festival moment. A big thank you to all who came and danced and celebrated the moment.
