INSIDER POST #001
We Were Wilder ThenGirl Named Tom
00:00 / 01:10

The idea of returning to the wild is not theoretical to us - it’s deeply personal. We three were homeschooled in the elementary years, allowed and encouraged to play outside, take off our shoes and get dirty, .

​

Gradually, we went our separate ways and became caught in the wires and stresses of “the zoo” as most of us do, eventually. But when we dropped everything to establish Girl Named Tom, it was like we were kids again. We started our band by borrowing our parents' minivan and driving across the country, playing in backyards and basements, sleeping on couches and camping in national parks. Then, as we went through our journey on The Voice, we slowly and surely were re-enveloped by the zoo. A novel, musical zoo but a zoo, nonetheless.

​

Now, as we lift our heads above water and look around, taking stock of our mysterious surroundings, we are left wondering how it all came to be...

how it was when we were ...wilder then.
