I am so excited to announce that my first full-length album “Harp Carols” is now complete for this year’s Christmas season. This is an album dedicated to my mother Nancy, who has been asking for something like this from me for over a decade. You can download it for $7 or purchase the disc for $10.

“Harp Carols” is a collection of ancient noels and features clarinetist Rosalyn DeRoos on the last song. All songs are traditional Christmas carols except track 7, an improvisation on Gabriel Faure’s “Pavane,” and track 10, “Journey to the Magi,” an original tune a la Alice Coltrane with influence by the T.S. Eliot poem.

“Harp Carols” CD Coming Soon…

I am so happy to announce that I’ve got a new CD coming out! December 1st is the estimated arrival date for the physical CD to go on sale, digital downloads will be made available the week before.

“Harp Carols” is a collection of ancient noels on solo harp, ten in all. Related to that, there will be a CD release concert, December 21st. Please join me for a special twilight concert on the darkest day of the year.
