In 2021, in full pandemic tilt, Timothy Showalter aka Strand Of Oaks, released a brilliant  record in the vein of much of his stratospheric catalog called In Heaven (Dead Oceans) but decided not to tour on it, because that's what you didn't do during those heavy days; tour. Instead, he shut it all down. Stopped strumming and humming and stopped checking his emails and all other things that create anxiety for an artist who's been busting his ass for most of 20 years and who's making quite a dent in the music world with his intoxicating mix of Neil Youngian based songs and stories. There's always been an astral leaning, psychedelic connection to Strand of Oaks music, but for that moment it needed to cease, and all Tim Showalter wanted to do was paint. Not to mention, he was asked to join the cast of Mayans MC for 2 seasons, working with Edward James Olmos, something he'd never considered a possibility. The painting and acting paused, and the music started again. But this time he wasn't drawn to his guitar and the usual Youngian template. Instead he headed to his synthesizers and his long time engineer/producer/collaborator Kevin Ratterman (Elliot, Twin Limb) and rebirthed his muse in a different form, albeit one that continues to radiate what Tim does instinctively, move the listener. His new album Miracle Focus, is a fresh start and reflects his DIY ethic completely. It's still 100% Strand Of Oaks, long time fans will be relieved to know, but uses instruments that inspired him for this round of songs after the time off. Songs that give back what he's been living, Transendental Meditation, Yoga, Ram Dass and the feeling of joy that each moment creates, passes and recreates again infinitely. 

The great Lacey Guthrie of Twin Limb and Pleasure Boys came over IRL to write a song with Howell in one half of one hour based on a cryptic note from a late night entry in her notepad app. __ Support this show and get exclusive bonus content at patreon.com/HowellDawdy Available already for $5 patreon subscribers: free downloads of all the previous Fast Track songs and bonus episodes with Greg Welsh, Josiah Hughes, Andy Fleming, Patrick Monahan (not the train guy), The Possum, Kent Carney, Ben Flores, and Emma Wong!

I’m thrilled to introduce you to today’s guest, MaryLiz Bender. She is one of the people in the space world that can combine space and humans really well. Her documenting and her journalistic storytelling, and the way she captures everything is, I believe, the way that we bridge the worlds between space and the people on earth that ask the question - why should I care? MaryLiz is an example of resilience, creativity, and following your dreams. She also happens to be a dear friend of mine. I am touched and inspired by the way she has navigated some very hard years and the way that she shows up now, using her voice and her talents to serve the greater good. She has performed music on her dream stage in Nashville as a professional recording artist, taught herself coding and programming through the public library while she was couch surfing and homeless, and has now gone on to co-found Cosmic Perspective with her partner Ryan Chylinski, where they connect people to space through story, film, and outreach. Be sure to visit their YouTube page to see some of their beautiful films. She has such a warm and engaging energy about her, and so many amazing stories to share. I hope you listen as MaryLiz shares some of her life stories, including how she went from a hard youth to finding herself standing between Bill Nye and Buzz Aldrin watching her first rocket launch! Just before we recorded our conversation in February, MaryLiz participated in a 6 week mission to Mars simulation which was built on top of a dormant volcano in Hawaii. She shares what she learned during that experience and how it reinforced even deeper her mission to keep the connection between space and humanity, as she says, the exploration of space is the pursuit of what it means to be human.    “It’s not going to be easy, and you don’t want it to be. Easy is boring and you don’t learn anything.” ~ MaryLiz Bender   I am blown away by the way that MaryLiz is in her life today. It’s hard for me to see the losses that happened in her early years. MaryLiz was a recent participant in my Life Reentry Class and she shared some of the way that her Survivor Self shows up and how she has been able to lean into her Thriver Self more and more.  My hope that this episode encourages you to follow your dreams and not be afraid to re-enter your life again and again. Maybe you’ll even find yourself on a rocketship to the moon one day! I’d love to hear what you thought of this conversation. Please comment below or share with me on social media. Please share it with your friends and family, and be sure to tag me if you share it on social media so that I can say thank you. I’m @christinarasmussen7 on Instagram and @ChristinaRasmussen2014 on Facebook.  More About MaryLiz Bender  MaryLiz is a futurist composer and space-age storyteller, on a mission to inspire hope, elevate empathy, and unite through experiences of awe and wonder.
