Rising The East Bay Express calls Avalon Rising "The new arbiters of cool" Avalon Rising's new album, "Storming Heaven", continues to receive wonderful reviews, including a fabulous review in Guitar Player Magazine. Referring to us as "absolutely stellar musicians", the review includes one of the best complements I've ever had, when referring to Margaret and I: "The duo's soaring,
almost achingly
sensual phrasing gives age-old and original melodies near-cinematic
impact. (Don't be surprised or embarrassed if you shed a tear when
listening to their plaintive harmonic dances -- it just means you're a
living, breathing, feeling person.)" - Michael Molenda, Guitar
Player Magazine
"Storming Heaven" is available from Avalon Rising.com, Amazon.com, CD Baby Dickens Christmas Fair Produced by Red Barn Productions, the fair runs weekends between Thanksgiving and Christmas at San Francisco's Cow Palace. I am entertainment director for this wonderful holiday event. |
