Hello Everyone! 

This just in!

Our Prayers for the Water CD topped the ZMR radio charts at # 7 for the month of March! People are enjoying this album on stations all around the globe!
Check it out! 

What a beautiful labor of love this baby has been!
And I'm delighted that the world is receiving the gift of music that we are offering from our hearts. This album would not be what it is without my dear friend, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Todd Boston, or the incredible artistry of Jami Sieber on cello and Tammy Hall on piano, or the angel voices of Valerie Byrne and my women's global music choir Yala Lati! 

And a big THANK YOU again to my Kickstarter supporters! We could not have done this without you! And as promised, 10% of proceeds from CD sales have been flowing to our local non-profit organization Save Our Shores.


Come hear the angel voices of the choir that sings with me on the album!
Next Saturday, May 7th!
Yala Lati, Amanda West, Kevin DiNoto 
Portion of proceeds benefits the Artemis Project
Details below...



Many blessings, 
Heather
