Being a touring musician is living life in a juxtaposed state. They long for the road and performing when they are at home, yet long for home when they are on the road. Their creativity and free-natured souls thrive when they are out traveling, sharing their craft and entertaining. But, the softer and more introspective part of them is just as important to their craft and balance of life. Dylan Earl is all of a hard-driving road dog and a thoughtful poet. His third full LP and first release with Gar Hole Records, I Saw the Arkansas, displays the give and take, the realizations of what matters most and learning how to navigate it all.
