From AGRELIA'S CASTLE - Grammy Nominated Producer/Keyboardist for the Waterboys, "Brother" Paul Brown, and his wife April Brown, vocalist and Native American-style flautist. 
The songs on ELDERS & ANCESTORS have grown from the artists’ journey together through the cancer landscape. They come from the desire to create peace, joy, and hope.

This is the 11 time Grammy Award nominee’s first Solo Piano release in over 10 years and is possibly his most personal and intimate recording to date. It’s a generous offering of over 72 minutes of music all inspired by LOVE with detailed liner notes about the meaning and circumstances surrounding each song. These musical portraits of the heart embody the many subtleties, joys, vulnerabilities, excitement, fears and deeply transformational qualities of our most essential and powerful emotion . . . LOVE. 

LISTEN TO:  "Two Of Us" from LOVE

 In their first recording together in over 10 years, Native American Flutist, R. Carlos Nakai, and Pianist/Composer, Peter Kater, stand once again united on sacred ground. Joined by legendary reedman, Paul McCandless; ethereal vocalist, Trisha Bowden; and celbrated cellist, Jaques Morelenbaum, RITUAL invokes a rich and soulful exploration of Self within a musical landscape created through deep listening, presence and love.

ILLUMINATION takes us on an inner journey in four movements laced with sweet spaciousness and an alluring landscape of heart centered instrumentation. Peter Kater's soul stirring piano, keyboards, vocals and Native American flute; Michael Fitzpatrick's poignant cello; Trisha Bowden's heart opening, angelic vocals; Mark Miller and Bob Rebholz's rich soprano saxophones and Todd Boston's glistening acoustic guitar combine to create an atmosphere of love, compassion, healing and expansiveness that invites and nurtures the flame of ILLUMINATION .

This music was created as an uplifting and supportive audial companion for life's many challenges, transitions and metamorphosis. It has been found to be particularly healing, comforting and inspiring for people facing everything from common daily stress, disease, trauma and even the process of dying. Using the seven chakras as a map, this is a musical journey towards love, peace and acceptance that can provide significant relief and support to individuals and loved ones facing life changing circumstances.
