These basics are […]

The flute and acoustic guitar are very compatible. In the realm of classical music, it can be a beautiful marriage between two delicate instruments. Laurel Zucker (flute) and Mark Delpriora (guitar) meld their musical minds for a beautiful recording of classical compositions. The musicians take a page out the books of many influential composers such […]

Still Waters was released September 12, 2006 and it features […]

Boise, ID–October 2, 2006– Jimmy Trip and David Miller (AKA Buttons Magoo) crossed paths one day and found that they were kindred spirits meant to create music together.

Eleven years is very long time between albums but some people can get away with it and pick up where they left off, like Bob Seger.

Not too long, after the release of this Kansas set, long time violinist and vocalist Robbie Steinhardt left the band again and David Ragsdale replaced him, again. The release of Works In Progress is ironic in that it documents a configuration of the band with Ragsdale on violin. The reason that the band decided to […]

Texas is a breeding ground for the blues and Ed Maly is an integral part of that community. Walking Shoes Blues, his fifth album, is a tribute to his talent for playing the blues and at the same time, he pays tribute to one of the legends Jimi Hendrix on the tracks ‘While His Guitar” […]
