Album Notes

We are a contemporary Native American and World Music duo from Harrisburg, PA and have released the recording of our first CD titled "Spirit Journey". Eleven original songs featuring Native flutes, guitars, keyboards, ethnic percussion instruments and drums. The music is a creative blend of the ancient Native American flute, drums and percussion, along with modern day instruments and musical styles. The compositions range from briskly stimulating to the senses, as well as calming, reflective, meditational, and healing.

David Rose, a lifelong musician of Mexican and Native American heritage now resides with his wife in Elizabethtown, PA. David has recorded two solo CD's entitled, "Kokopelli Songs" and "From The Spirit". (Native flute)

Annette Abbondanza, is a native of central Pennsylvania. Previously with the groups State of Mind, Kindred Spirits and leader and founder of The Legend of stone soup, she was inspired to seek out a new direction in musical expression and healing, which resulted in the creation of Ashes to Phoenix - healing music for the mind body and spirit (Ashes2phoenix.com). Annette has recorded and produced 2 of her own CDs and has written, produced and recorded projects for several other area artists. She is self-taught on the guitar, keyboard, and plays many other stringed instruments, but mainly considers herself a songwriter and musical healing enthusiast.(Guitar, Keyboards, Bass, Drums)
