In 1936, a Tasmanian Tiger died in the Hobart Zoo.  He was the very last one…an endling.
These songs explore this topic of extinction and how it relates to all aspects of life. Not only are the environment and animals endangered in this day and age; hope, human connection and artistry are becoming more of a rarity. And if we don’t value the things that are most important to us, they will become harder and harder to find.
