Greenhorse
As dawn breaks over the murky waste, twin bassists stride through the mist. Greenhorse awakes. Wispy curls of fog creep between them and dance among the reeds, slick with dew. Very slowly, their crystalline voices reach into the blooming firmament. Flashing tones burst forth from their mossy guitars. And then the beat. Velvet drumloops chase the last of the fading night as downy strips of living sound fall to the moist earth. Greenhorse walks into the pulsing daylight trailing ribbons of melody behind them.

It's closer to an organic compound than one would expect; inspired by sages, shamans, and the wisdom of the ancients, Pacific Horizons are uncovering new territory while at the same time steeped in age-old tradition. Their debut release "Universal Horizons / The Amulet" is being twisted up during sunrise ceremonies on several continents, as dancers and listeners worldwide celebrate.

travist.paine
Travis has a voice that makes painters dance and poets climb trees. His music is not a born talent... it is the sound of a mystic journey... blessings and sorrows... lessons and soft still moments of forever.

Undersea Passage
Undersea Passage perform storylike roots music, channeling old ballads and ocean currents to offer ethereal movements laced with haunting verse. Singers David Delmar (rhythm guitar, lyrics) and the classically trained, deep blue Allison Noel (flute, keys) perform many songs as duets, highlighted by the rhythm play of Doug Port (drums) and orchestrator Carlos Tulloss (bass). An array of guest stars add a vibrant dimension: Allegra Chabay (voice), Brett Joseph (sax), Warren Nelson (lead guitar, voice), Michael Spaly (lead guitar, mandolin, violin), and Paul Fischer (lead guitar).
