Folk & World Music

Best known for his musical dyad with Deva Premal, Miten is a soulful trippy bard in his own right. Temple at Midnight is a soulful, no-frills, all-acoustic tale of love and redemption.

Among the good folk working at Banyen, Samuel Romero is a gifted artist (he designed this album from beginning to end, both musically and artistically) as well as a sparklingly nimble guitarist and heart-fueled singer.

Writer Rex Weyler (Greenpeace, The Jesus Sayings) is also a earthy, songwriting bard. Decades after co-founding Greenpeace and later Hollyhock, Rex has at last recorded—beautifully—his nimble, soulful, and at times shamanic poem-songs.

Charles Van Sandwyk and the Brandywine Boys:

Keith Lowe, acoustic bass.
Steve Dawson, guitar, ukulele, weissenborn, dobro.
Chris Gestrin, pump organ and saloon piano.
Charles van Sandwyk, vocals and narration.

There is a stillness, a point of balance, from which all movement and sound emanates. On this CD, Karunesh has established such a base for many wondrous instruments and sounds to leap into joyous expression.
