Painted Raven is a contemporary Native American and World Music duo from central Pennsylvania and central Florida. Their second CD titled "Mirage", is comprised of eleven original songs featuring Native flutes, guitars, keyboards, ethnic percussion instruments and drums. The music is an eclectic blend of the ancient Anasazi, South American and Native American flutes, various cultural drums and world 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 in Elizabethtown, PA. David has recorded two solo CD's entitled, -Kokopelli Songs- and -From The Spirit. Most recently, his flute music was featured on internationally acclaimed Mars Lasar's -Tahoe Spirit. Music from this CD was used in the Jeff Corwin's MSNBC documentary, 100 Heartbeats.
As a solo performer, David has performed at weddings, art gallery openings, historical venues, libraries, public events, multi-cultural events, charity events, and educational functions.
