American songwriter Tim Easton was born on the Canadian border in upstate New York and spent his formative years living in Tokyo, Japan and Akron, Ohio. Traveling early and often, he learned the ways of the road and rails and spent 7 years as a bonafide troubadour, making his way around Europe, playing the streets and clubs, living in Paris, London, Madrid, Prague, Dublin, and wherever he laid his hat. It was this period of time when he developed his songwriting style - folk based storytelling and personal traveling tales, often peppered with bold confessions or "tell it as it is" reality. Rolling Stone Magazine praised him as "having a novelist's sense of humanity." He currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation is a 501c3 organization located in Palmer Alaska that has a mission to be the trails and parks resource for a healthy community in the Mat-Su. Since 2014, Mat-Su Trails and Parks Foundation (MSTPF) has provided grant funding to various non-profits and agencies, resulting in over 85 miles of new trails and 12 parks, the purchase of essential trail grooming and maintenance equipment, trail markers, and interpretive signage, and necessary trailhead amenities like bathrooms. In addition to our grantmaking program, MSTPF works with land managers, including AK State Parks, to apply, manage, and provide matching funding for federal and foundation grants. These projects allow us to leverage our community donations to facilitate million-dollar investments in the Mat-Su, as with the Curry Ridge Connector Project, or the preservation of Independence Mine State Historical Park. To date, our total grantmaking investment in the Mat-Su Borough has been just over $2,350,000. With your help, MSTPF plans to make an additional $2.5 million investment over the next five years in developing sustainable trails and regional parks in the Mat-Su Borough.
