2007-2008
Welcome! We're about to redo the site completely, bringing live video on board, etc. All pressings of Soul Collage, Talk and most of realtime are sold out. Thanks for supporting independent music!
The new compilation CD, Tracks, (which features tunes from all 3 of my albums, harmony vocals by David Crosby, Graham Nash & Martin Sexton, guitar wizardry by Jeff Pevar & Jim Chapdelaine, bass by jazz phenom François Moutin) - was remastered by Greg Calbi (whose credits include The Beatles, Ani DiFranco, Bob Dylan, Lenny Kravitz, Wilco etc.). You can order securely through Paypal on the CDs page.
We are currently recording in-studio & live - & are filming a DVD with wonderful documentary filmmaker/artists, Christine & Willa Altman.
Stay tuned for upcoming radio, live performances & for CD #5, featuring all-new material, which will be released in Fall, 2008.
Peace & joy to all - Dana
