An Dro new CD: Tribe
Our latest recording is called "Tribe". Released in July 2011, it is a collection of traditional and original tunes and is about connection. It celebrates the ways tradition connects us to our past, to our present and to each other. It includes eight original tunes by James Spalink that honor the ways different people touch our lives. We wanted to open up this project so we invited our friends Michael Gunn and Cara Lieurance to each do a song. Other friends and family members make brief appearances also. This is our "tribe" - that to which we belong. On a larger scale everyone who hears and enjoys the music shares in the music. If that is you, welcome to our tribe. Pick up your copy at our live shows, or from cdbaby.com. Kalamazoo listeners can grab a copy at Terrapin. For more information, visit: www.andromusic.com
