On September 6th, 2010, Jayson Nessi purged his belongings, bought a one-way ticket to Hawaii and spent months discovering what it was like to live effectively “homeless” among the beach-dwellers of the windward side of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. His neighbors drug-addled, the ocean his only friend- the sun, wind, and rain his on-again, off-again lovers, he spent the last of his money on a ukulele and spent the majority of the time he wasn’t searching for food on writing an album. Months into being generally lonely and occasionally maniacal, dumpster-diving food and applying Neosporin, Jayson finally sought refuge on a farm and began recording his first album- ‘The First Words We Heard Were Dirt (So Now We Are Digging)’, -we’re still not sure what happened next. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/What+We+Are">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
