The Music of Earthshine
Take Flight - Released 1/24/09
Take Flight was recorded in 2008 at Peak Recording and Sound in Bozeman, MT.
Ten songs from the 100-strong catalog of Earthshine compositions are featured in the album, adorned with the fantastic contributions of our incredibly talented additional musicians: Ben Klein, brilliant flutist, of Trillian Green fame; Tim Todd, amazing violinist, a session guy and member of many touring bands; Brad Edwards, fine, seasoned percussionist known in the region for his talents; and Kyle Brenner, exceptional cellist of Livingston, MT.
Live@ Bob's - Released 12/16/07
On December 16, 2007, EARTHSHINE released their first album. It features 11 of their songs and is a compilation of three different recording efforts. The album is titled "Live@Bob's!" because the majority of it was recorded live in the basement of the wonderful Bob Brown of Billings, MT.
If it weren't for the generosity and patience of Bob, there would be no album. (And no subsequent albums either, so we are grateful to Bob FOREVER!)
After completing the recording with Bob, Earthshine's Kris (Lottie) and Scott Prinzing actually were able to add the harmonica playing of famed nature writer GARY FERGUSON to the song "Sea Shanty" using their own little pro tools setup! Three songs from an earlier recording session (in 2004) and one from an even earlier session with the multi-talented Brad Edwards of Billings are bonus tracks on the album.
On "Live@Bob's" you may hear some of their near-sibling harmonies, their Geddy Lee, Kerry Livgren, Ann Wilson, John Dowland, Georg Phillip Telemann, Cecelia Bartoly, Bruce Cockburn, E.India/Persia/S.Asia influences, and PinkFloydian-AlanParsonsian-ethnic-sound-scape-ifications. Or you may not - let us know what you think you hear in our music! (See below!)
