A child of the Sonoran Desert, Jaspar Lepak is a folk/Americana songwriter whose remarkable gift for melody is only surpassed by her poetry. Written over the span of 10 years, her new radio-charting album Desert Ghosts documents a time of deep personal change and reflects the landscapes of the many places she has lived--the savannas of South Africa, the plains of Minnesota, the rainforests of Washington and the canyons of the Southwest. https://www.jasparlepak.com/
