“Eric Alan has produced a lovely book, matching evocative writing with absolutely stunning photography. It is personal and probing, providing an intimate connection to nature. He describes it as a spiritual path, and indeed it is—a book designed to strengthen one’s heart and soul.” –Bill Meadows, President, The Wilderness Society

“What Hemingway would call a ‘movable feast’… Alan’s astoundingly beautiful nature photography and lyrical prose pulls the reader into a deep contemplation of the natural world and one’s relationship to it… Few will be able to read it without deep introspection, learning and pleasure.” –U.S. Congressman Les AuCoin (D-OR, retired)

Vince and Viv of Vandam are more than bandmates — they’re twin siblings. We talked to them about what it’s like to work with family.

Beyond their musical interests, Vandam has made no secret of their love of film. It’s fitting, then, that one of their songs will appear in one of the year’s hottest debut features.

With a new record label and a 16 date international tour, everyone’s favorite local band is about to become a much bigger deal.
