I Know Where the Highway Is

At 17 years old, Andrea Itkin took to the road, talked her way out of danger, and made it back without her mom ever knowing.

In January of 2017, Melodi Var Öngel came to Maine and collaborated with Jillian Galloway on this documentary song about a vintage Volvo. The summer before, Jillian had seen the Volvo with a for sale sign on the side of the road in Acadia. Now here it was winter, but that Volvo remained on her mind. As the song reveals, Jillian has her own sense of what’s important.
