* Whirring Wings CD and companion book MAIL ORDER *
Matt & Shannon Heaton’s sixth duo album is a collection of traditional and modern tunes (and one song), played on Irish flute, guitar and bouzouki.
With this album and companion book, the Heatons hope to find current resonance in old tunes and classic lines in modern compositions; to play real and unadorned (all performances were live) and be open to just a few snazzy production elements; to mourn for people and biospheres that are gone and savor treasures that remain; to relish playing as a duo even though it’s fun and special to play music with other people.
