She's Finally Here-Waterway

From 2008-2009 Blog Photos


After writing the first drafts in 2003, then touring in 2004-2006, and finally recording in 2007, we were able to self produce our own music on a new CD called Waterway.

It has been an incredible process of developing this music, most of which is about Lake Superior and all of which is about important waterways. We have worn many hats along the way: composers, editors, practicers (hey I think that is a new word), performers, and listeners. Andy and I have learned so much from putting ourselves in the position of having to believe in our own musical ideas, a scary process, but worth it.

You can read all about our new CD on a lovely little website I put together: WaterwayCD.com

CD Recording at CMU

From 2008-2009 Blog Photos

Our friend Scott Harding wrote a successful grant to pay for a CD of our Latin Dance music to be recorded and released on the White Pine label at Central Michigan University!

We recorded in mid-May in a fabulous hall at Central Michigan University. We all learned how the recording process really brings out the polish in the music and makes subsequent performances seem a lot easier. We will play this music again on Mackinac Island and at the National Flute Convention in August!

Our sound engineer, Scott Burgess, was a hoot to work with and really made the whole process go by smoothly.
