Next February’s release with Sounds True

Sounds True Releasing “Love Abounds” in  Feburary 2010!

Sounds True (which publishes audio works by musicians such as Krishna Das, Jai Uttal and Deva Premal and teachers such as Ekhart Tolle, Ram Das, Carolyn Myss, Greg Braden, Pema Chodron and Thich Nhat Hanh) has been a very inspiring part of my spiritual journey for many years now. I am thrilled to share with you that Sounds True and I are now officially signed on to present an album of original Devotional songs “for opening the heart” in Feb. 2010! I have much gratitude to producer Ben Leinbach for making the introductions and to Nancy Smith and all the folks at Sounds True for feeling the LOVE! More details to come as this exciting project evolves!
