I had a long drive from Zion to Sacramento and listened to your CD several times. Your voice is amazing: you have definitely done your work. I loved you flute playing as well and REALLY enjoyed the Hang. Every Breath you Take was great! –Vince Chafin Recording Artist, www.vincechafin.com
Solo Native American Flute music, rich A Capella vocals, percussion and the Hang drum by PANArt combine for a beautiful and moving CD. Original, traditional and contemporary songs flow easily one to the next. This is a CD of accessible music by and award winning New Mexico musician and rising star in the Native American flute recording and performing world. Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Oh’ Danny Boy and Every Breath You Take showcase this artist’s melodic playing style while Redwood and Steel, Apostasy and Hummingbird display the skill level of a gifted musician.

Echoes of the Heart – A Sacred Journey
Beth L.
“…transports me to the place in my soul where I experience profound reverence for the beauty, power and love of the Creator.”
More than a recording, it is an experience of balance and harmony with all living things. The journey begins at sunrise, with the natural sounds of birds singing and an ancient chant that honors the arrival of a new day. On the title track (#7 – Echoes of the Heart) TallTree’s own heart beats to the rhythm of a distant drum as a tribute to Mother Earth. Your spirit will soar with the mesmerizing melodies of the flute and the heavenly voices of the TallTree’s. An inspired recording of Native American flute, vocals and nature.
