No Simple Road

Heads Talking is a snapshot of our reality bringing you inside our home and our world. We're a month in to quarantine, Spring has sprung, and so have we! We talk a bit about gratitude, giving thanks for the little acts of kindness, dream about what we'd do if we had infinite time and money, how we can agitate ourselves, and a bunch more! Come for the ride with us!

Our friends from New Tribe are an evolving collection of musicians, seekers, artists, writers and explorers engaging in psychedelic (“soul-revealing”) experiences. At the heart of this social experiment is a band, a catalyst. Their music seeks new ground through live and studio explorations, with roots in American musical traditions, reinterpreted for modern listeners.

We hang with Adam and Eric from New Tribe and discuss their 20 year journey of evolving music, living in a world where you feel like the alien, the challenges of creating music while living in different cities, the current state of affairs affecting the world, and much more.

Did you know that music can accelerate child brain development and strengthen intellectual, emotional, and motor skills, as well as overall literacy? Bringing music into the classroom can help kids explore the mind-body connection and become comfortable with self-expression. Sadly, many children’s music programs are lacking in the resources they need to let kids explore this creative space. That's why Osiris is happy to partner with The Mockingbird Foundation. 

Founded in 1996, The Mockingbird Foundation is a volunteer-run non-profit organization dedicated to improving access to music education for America’s youth. Each year, the Foundation awards grants to dozens of music education programs, and funds those grants through a combination of fundraising, publishing, and the curation of Phish.net, one of the earliest Internet fan communities. 

Mockingbird is entirely volunteer, with no staff, no salaries, and no office - so every dollar really does make a difference in providing children’s music programs with the staffing, instruments, and support they need. The foundation gives over 100 - 150,000 dollars every year in grants. To donate or to learn more, visit mbird.org. That’s M-B-I-R-D - dot- org
