This is the tale of Olympia told through the lens of a third-generation Olympian who left town after graduating from Olympia HS in 1971 and who finally returned in 2016. The album a loving ode to Olympia, Washington, telling the story of the greater Olympia area going back 2 million years. Recorded over four years thru the pandemic, it is a monumental brew of eclecticism writ large.
