bird to hand

About Me

Just graduated from Northwestern University (Chicago) and am headed off to the UK for grad school this fall. I will be reading for my MPhil in Philosophy at Cambridge. Between now and then I plan to continue to read, think, dream, write, and record "Bird to Hand" (the up and coming EP for 2008) in Seattle. I will be shuttling back and forth between Chicago, Seattle, and LA over the summer to perform and visit friends. Keep an eye out for shows.To hear more go to ambernorth.com or i-Tunes where you'll find my college album "No More Boxes". To read more see the links below. To feel more put Van Morrison's "I'll be your lover, too" on repeat, open a pillarbox red, and crack open William James' "The Will to Believe."press: http://www.gatesscholar.org/scholars/new_scholars_detail.asp ?ItemID=117 http://www.northwestern.edu/magazine/summer2008/cover/senior watch_sidebar/sidebar27.html http://www.glamour.com/news/articles/2007/05/collegewomen?cu rrentPage=9
