Brother Eph lives a border free existence between the Country & the Urban, the West & the Eastern - The TRANSFRONTIER, the space where borderlands remix "it" up, what the drivers of big money, power & control bombard the masses with, a sense of the "normal", a craving for more, consuming to belong - this is all denied as a reality here on the Transfrontiers...

Loretta Lynn CDs in oud shops, Sanaa, Yemen.
Grandpa Jones & Red Solvine on department store shelves, Koror, Palau.
Johnny Cash on Trenchtown sound systems.
Jim Reeves songbooks in Indian-owned stationary shops, Arusha, Tanzania....

Country & Eastern sounds give way for the Xillbilli Mau-Mao Nº1 Sound System.
The hillbilly sound in the world at large,
from participant observations & experiences - the world view of a hillbilly banjo playing transfrontiersman -
that's me - Brother Eph.........
