Andrea Harsell, of Missoula, Montana, leads a multifarious life deeply rooted in her love for nature and music. She wears multiple hats, operating her biodiverse farm, practices reflexology and reiki, teaches guitar, and works as a full-time musician as she has for the past three decades. Her music and studies took her to Japan, and Hawaii in her 20's giving her a unique perspective on indigenous cultures and practices and a deep reverence for the natural world.
