Album Notes

"A Face In The Clouds" is Marshall's sixth album. Blending soft piano melodies with a rich orchestral background, this CD embraces the sound that New Age Reporter "solidly recommends". The title was inspired by a true story about a boy whose father died a hero during 9/11. On a flight to a retreat for the families of firefighters, the boy looked out the plane window and saw his dad's face in the clouds. His father was smiling at him and this is how the boy would remember him. Moved deeply by this story, Marshall composed the title track in one day. The rest of the album follows with Marshall's accustomed style of joy, warmth, and passion intertwined with images of his family and his beloved Austin home. Styler remarks, "my goal is to compose music that sounds simple and effortless, as well as moving and spiritual."
