    Hi there and welcome to Return to the Dream's website. RTTD is an alternative acoustic band that draws on folk, pop, rock, blues, and bluegrass influences to create our original music. Tight vocal harmonies and a tasty array of acoustic instruments give Return to the Dream its unique "eclectic acoustic" sound. We call ourselves Return to the Dream because that’s exactly what we’ve done: we’ve gone back to doing the thing we love most - in our case, making music. We encourage everyone to make room in their lives for the thing that makes them the happiest. One of our goals is to start a community of people who want to share their stories of going back to ... or forward toward their dreams. If you are on that road, we’d love to hear from you. Drop us a line and tell us all about it. You can email us at mail@returntothedream.com. And remember, as George Eliot so eloquently said, “It’s never too late to be who you might have been.”  RTTD NEWS More great reviews of our new CD are coming in and we'll keep you posted as they do.

RTTD on WFUV We're still thrumming from our terrific radio interview with John Platt on WFUV. John is a great friend and fan of acoustic music and we're honored he asked us to do the show!
