The music reflects the sound of the Gypsies, the passion of flamenco, and the irresistible rhythms of Andalucia.

Gareth first encountered the flamenco guitar as a young teen in Spain, where he received lessons with local flamenco guitarists. He went on to study classical guitar in Vienna and Spain, but retained a lifelong relationship to Spain and flamenco music. His album Flamenco Latino is the manifestation of this connection, presented here as a dedicated flamenco album.

Bob Yonker Releases Album ‘Dreams of Light’

Screenshot 2026-02-23 at 8.15.57 PM
"Bob Yonker Releases Album ‘Dreams of Light’"

Dreams of Light is a collection of improvisational solo piano compositions by Bob Yonker, recorded entirely in the moment.

Guided by intention and presence, each piece was performed as it emerged—untouched by prewritten notes or rigid structure.

The result is an album that offers listeners a gentle sanctuary of sound, inviting stillness, reflection, and emotional renewal.

Deeply contemplative and spiritually uplifting, Dreams of Light serves as a companion for meditation, quiet moments, and healing experiences.

Screenshot 2026-02-23 at 8.17.12 PM

Bob Yonker creates solo piano music with the intention of calming the mind, soothing the soul, and healing the planet—one note at a time.

Growing up in the Northeast, Bob’s earliest musical memories are of his mother singing and playing piano in their home. Fascinated by the instrument and the sounds it produced, he began experimenting on his own, teaching himself simple songs by the age of four. At six, he took lessons for a year, though it soon became clear that he was playing entirely by ear rather than reading music. His teacher famously discovered this after Bob performed his recital piece flawlessly—but in the wrong key. Although he later learned to read music, Bob has always felt most at home expressing himself through his own style and original compositions.

After being told by colleges that his unconventional approach did not align with traditional classical training, Bob chose a different path. He earned a degree in Agricultural Science from Penn State and spent many years working to help the environment. During this time, he also worked second jobs in group homes for individuals with developmental challenges—work he found deeply meaningful—and served as the organist for various churches where he lived.

In the 1990s, while still working full-time, Bob returned to school and earned a triple degree in Special Education, Elementary Education, and Early Childhood Education. This led to a new chapter as a special needs teacher, a role he embraced and enjoyed for 15 years. He and many of his teaching colleagues used his music in the classroom and found that the students experienced increased calm, focus, concentration, and productivity.

Re-energized and creatively inspired by his teaching career, Bob eventually returned to his first love—music. He has since composed eleven albums of contemplative, contemporary, and meditative solo piano music, along with a Christmas album. His latest release, Dreams of Light, is an improvisational album recorded entirely in the moment at the studio. As with all of Bob’s music, each piece is created with the intention of bringing calm, joy, and healing to the listener.

He has also been commissioned by individuals to “channel” and record personalized piano pieces uniquely attuned to their frequency with the listeners reporting beautiful emotional releases and healings. (Spirit Songs)

Water Stones is the latest instrumental offering from award-winning guitarist and composer Lynn Patrick.

Each track flows with uplifting warmth and lyrical grace, showcasing Patrick’s expressive, heartfelt guitar work and gift for melody.

From bright, joyful grooves to spacious, contemplative pieces, Water Stones offers a serene, emotionally rich listening experience that gently guides the listener inward, toward reflection, renewal, and peace. Whether played during moments of quiet solitude or shared as a calming backdrop to daily life, the music invites connection—to nature, to emotion, and to something greater. It’s a sonic landscape crafted not just for listening, but for feeling deeply.

Screenshot 2026-01-21 at 3.28.40 PM

Lynn Patrick grew up in Florida, surrounded by music. Her family sang and played instruments for fun—piano, ukulele, banjo, and guitar. Early experiences, including many trips to the ocean, swimming, snorkelling on coral reefs, sailing, and horseback riding, formed the foundation of her creative life. After earning a Humanities degree from Florida State University in 1983, she moved to Boston to pursue music, then settled in Colorado two years later, where the Rockies deeply inspired her sound. For the past 23 years, she has lived in the mountains west of Boulder, drawing inspiration and creative energy from the surrounding beauty. A lifelong lover of nature, Patrick channels the outdoors directly into her melodic, soulful, uplifting, and heartfelt guitar work.

She has produced, recorded, published and released six albums of original instrumental music and one singer/songwriter album, earning recognition for her signature guitar style. Patrick is a two- time Independent Music Award winner for Best New Age Song, a USA Songwriting Competition finalist, and a multi-time finalist with the Indie Acoustic Awards and the International Acoustic Music Awards.

The CBS daytime drama The Young and the Restless, from Sony Pictures Television, featured her music for three years, during which she also spent a year as a show songwriter. Emmy Award–winning music supervisor Paul F. Antonelli, who regularly showcased her work on the series, says:

“Lynn’s music is beautifully poignant and filled with emotional nuance… she’s a master.”

Patrick’s compositions have also appeared in documentaries such as Jack Hanna’s Into the Wild, Ocean Mysteries with Jeff Corwin, and Mariel Hemingway’s Running From Crazy, and her music has been featured on The Weather Channel, NPR, and SiriusXM. Across Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other platforms, Lynn’s music has been streamed more than 16 million times.

She has performed nationwide at venues such as Red Rocks Amphitheatre (opening for Dan Fogelberg), The Bitter End in New York, The Bluebird Café in Nashville, SXSW in Austin, as well as eTown, the Boulder Theater, and festivals throughout Colorado.

Richard Dillon Releases Album ‘Fernweh: The Need to Travel’

Screenshot 2025-12-16 at 12.38.19 PM
"Richard Dillon Releases Album ‘Fernweh: The Need to Travel’"

With Fernweh: The Need to Travel, pianist and composer Richard Dillon invites listeners on a journey through landscapes both real and imagined. Spanning compositions written between 2017 and 2025, the album reflects Dillon’s lifelong fascination with movement, memory, and place, each piece a postcard from a different moment in time.

From the intimate tenderness of “Breakfast with My Best Friend” to the sweeping romanticism of “Camelot” and the haunting stillness of “- 20”, Dillon captures emotion through melody with painterly precision. The music evokes a traveler’s sense of wonder: fleeting scenes of friendship, loss, nature, and nostalgia rendered through shimmering piano textures and expressive phrasing.

Though rooted in the New Age / Neo-Impressionist tradition, Fernweh is deeply cinematic: its sound world unfolds like a film score for an inner voyage. The album’s narrative flows effortlessly from light to shadow, from the innocence of “Chasing Butterflies” to the meditative depth of “Echoes of a Broken Heart” and the reflective grace of “Mother’s Eyes.”

Screenshot 2025-12-16 at 12.43.21 PM

Richard Dillon is a composer-pianist whose music draws on the evocative power of memory, place and quiet introspection. With a formal background that includes an AA, BA and Master of Music in piano and composition, he has woven a multi-faceted career: as a performer in USO tours across the Pacific, a music educator, and—more recently—a recording artist whose solo-piano works have reached an international audience.

Growing up with Asperger’s and ADHD, Dillon found solace and expression in the piano. What began as lessons in childhood evolved into a lifelong journey of sound and storytelling. Reflecting his self-described “Neo-Impressionist” aesthetic, his compositions capture everything from the wistful longing of travel to the ambient hush of a winter’s night.

Based in Seattle, Dillon’s catalogue spans over a decade of releases on streaming platforms, including works featured on Pandora and Spotify. His music invites listeners into a landscape both intimate and expansive —a place where melody becomes memory and silence becomes texture.
