…the voices behind the song that has set the scene for our second season. Their music shares stories with a strong sense of place, deeply rooted in the Mountain West. And like many of the stories we share here at the Houlihan, their songs somehow manage to leave space – space for memory, for meaning, and for something of our own to take hold.

Dinwoody’s song “Rodeo” from their album Momento: Rodeo, has been the theme music for the second season of the podcast. In this conversation, Jordan and Liv join fellow musician and our very own Houli team member, Kris Hampton, to talk about how they each found their way to songwriting, how place finds its way into their songs, and how they let their listeners fill in the blanks in between.

He told this story on September 16, 2022, at our live storytelling event held as part of the Bookmarked Literary Arts Festival. Our theme that evening was “Origin Story.”

… and cultures – all while staying true to her heart. As a first generation Cambodian-American who grew up in Lander, Chanthy combined her heritage and her hometown roots to create her food truck “Far East Foodie.” With her story, Chanthy reminded us that even when it feels like we’re spinning out into space, our friends and families help keep us grounded in love.

She told this story on December 9, 2023, at our live storytelling event we titled “Dear Jordan, Love Lander” held as a fundraiser for a beloved friend. Our theme that evening was “Life Imitates Art.”
