The Songkeepers is a reverent burn into the woodgrain of American music—etched portraits of the poets who never chased fame but found immortality through truth. These five songwriters—Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, John Prine, and Townes Van Zandt—weren’t just musicians. They were chroniclers, philosophers, and wounded prophets with guitars slung across their souls.

In this installment of the Eternal Symbols series, each face is engraved with both reverence and rawness—captured in a moment of stillness as their words echo like scripture across the decades. 

These are not just portraits—they’re altars. Not just images—but echoes. In The Songkeepers, each figure is both myth and memory, a voice carved out of silence and smoke.

They didn’t write hits. They wrote truths. And the world, broken as it is, listened.
