Black Sheep escapes from farm & hits skid row wall.
Discovers songwriting, open stages, & producer John MacArthur Ellis.
Makes four records and tours the continent with a flock of great musicians, guided by magicians, Gypsies & street poets.
Encounters the hummingbird, the grizzly bear, the red fox & the owl.
Hits black ice & spins back to farm.
A great flood comes & washes away whats left of the past, leaving a song & a new calling in it's wake.
Black Sheep transforms into Nightbird.
Her job is to transmute troubled dreams into art.
Stay posted.
