Owlsong (Charles/Gessner)

Posted by: Don // Category: music video,performances,video // 5:21 pm

This song was the result of spending 3 months touring the Great Northern Plains in the dead of winter where we saw lots of white and many birds of prey sitting on fence posts. Even owls. Being from southern climes, we were sure we were going to die at any minute. The performance was captured at Greg West’s studio by our webms., Cheryl Colan, whose website is well worth checking out for sheer quirkiness. She’s a hoot.

“Hoo-Li” performed at house concert

Posted by: Deb // Category: music video // 1:16 pm

Cyd West occasionally presumes upon her husband, trompe l’oeil artist Greg West, to allow her musician friends the use of his backyard Phoenix studio as a venue and this was one such night in January 2007. The song is a ‘walkin’ song that celebrates those moments when every little thing is just right. Thanks to Cheryl Colan for capturing this piece, that’s her singing along.

“Row” at the Far-West Conference, 2008

The Thursday night Arizona Showcase at the Far-West Conference in Mesa, AZ, October 2008 featuring a new version of “Row” with the harp instead of the concertina. This was the end of an evening that showcased some of the best of Arizona artists. A big thank you to Kyle Harris of PlayR Recording who provided the sound that night in an impossible room.
