In this episode I celebrate the passing of the snow and winter and the promise of spring.  I also enjoy a walk hearing the story of Tragoe.  Tragoe is a Nature-loving Pagan artist who gave up his military and academic career to look for the answer of the question: “What is the sound of darkness?” Tragoe’s journey is dressed with his original neo-folk signature sound. Through his music, he’s narrating stories from the past and pondering life. Tragoe’s music is performed exclusively with traditional Greek folk instruments, honoring his roots &amp; ancestors.
