[7] In an interview with the Scottsbluff Star-Herald, Redfield attributed his vagabond spirit to his parents: "Dad’s lineage of Norwegian Viking and my ma’s Bohemian Gypsy blood pretty much cursed, or blessed, me to be a wanderer by nature...so I figured I’d write some songs along the way.

"[8] While dabbling in hip hop in his teens, Redfield heard a cassette copy of Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited in his dad's Buick and suddenly had an epiphany to switch genres.

It was on this trip that Redfield and his traveling pal, Drew Swenhaugen, met Willie Nelson, Riders in the Sky, and Kesha, whose family treated the boys to backstage passes at the Grand Ole Opry.

Living in a seven-by-seven foot shack nicknamed "The Birdhouse," Redfield used this meditative time for self-inquiry and wrote some his most stirring material to date, including the song "Find Me in the Light," which attempts to explain Nondualism in layman's terms.

Redfield was "Picked 2 Click" by City Pages[11] in August 2010 and Ephemeral Eon earned honorable mention on critic Rob Van Alstyne's list of the year's best local records.

In 2012, Redfield released his sophomore LP, Tusen Takk, which was mixed by The Mountain Goats' producer, Brandon Eggleston, and features members of Peter Wolf Crier, Bon Iver, and Andrew Bird's band.
