The last track, Joy, leaves listeners with a very memorable and upbeat tune to celebrate the joy of life. Both artists are active members of the USA National Flute Association.

Peter and Sherry plan on touring and performing music from Traveler both in the US and Australia in the summer and fall of 2018.

Sherry is a Phoenix based flutist, performer and composer, and runs Heart Dance Recordings – a label consisting of artists with a focus on relaxation and healing music.

Carol Albert – Fly Away Butterfly

November 8, 2017 Leave a comment

Every so often, an artist comes along that makes you reimagine the possibilities of music. With Fly Away Butterfly, Carol Albert delivers a seminal and sizzling contribution to the artistic sphere, blending lively melodies with thoughtful and refined arrangements. But this album is also one of healing, as Carol lost her husband in 2014, and she turned back to composing musicafter some years away from her recording career. Throughout the opus, we hear, quite beautifully, about Carol’s stages of recovery and healing. And by so doing, she has given us something for each one of us to hold onto.

The title track “Fly Away Butterfly” evokes an ambient groove enlivened by joyful, even mirthful utes, the soundtrack to a butter fly flying away, from this place to that. Indeed, the track is symbolic, as Carol’s voice is intimate and distant, the delicate balance of love and loss that we all must face during life. “Awakening” flows and builds with an ostinato groove, lilting notes, and well-placed piano touches. The song is wrought with anticipation and playful exchanges that resolve to the tonic chord, a brilliant display of compositional prowess and acumen. “On My Way” is even more explicit, an anthem for our times. It’s a song of new beginnings. Her lyrics “on my way to a better day – I’ll spread my wings and y away…” connote not just escapism but realism. “Across the Sky” begins with a Coltrane-like incandescent solo with dreamy, even distant vocals.

All in All a superb album you’ll enjoy over and over again….

Dorina Morelli- Make Believe

October 25, 2017 Leave a comment

With her pedigree of being a world-class performer, Dorina Morelli is not afraid to admit she’s far from your average singer/songwriter.

Having spent 17 years in the world’s most successful tribute band Bjorn Again, Dorina has captivated audiences around the world and spent much of those years living outside of her Australian home country.

During that time and beyond she took many opportunities around the globe to co-write her own material.

This album was almost going to be called “Retrospective” as it has been hiding in the cupboard for so long but a “Make Believe” of timeless pop songs, can come true!

As Dorina returns to what she loves most in life, she hopes to inspire you to do the same!

We are sure you’ll enjoy this great new album, keep your ears open at your favourite cafe from this weekend on, or checkout the links below if you just can’t wait

Tell us about the moment you decided to become a singer? What did your family have to say about it?

I’ve been singing and dancing since I was 4 years old. Music was all I ever wanted to do. It was in the blood as my father played paino accordian in bands. I trained and performed to perfect my craft until I finally landed a gig that changed my life at age 21.

My family could not understand my drive to become as singer and did not exactly encourage me but I did it anyway, and then they became my biggest fans.
