We are happy to announce that we are launching our new recording project “Paddle-to-the-Sea.” This musical yarn is based on the 20th century masterpiece by Holling Clancy Holling (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company) of an adventurous little paddle-man who makes his winding way through the Great Lakes to the salt water sea. Inspired by this tale we gathered some years back to trace Paddle’s journey in song and music. It begins at the headwaters of Lake Superior, twisting and dancing along, carrying stories of people along the way in his battered little wooden canoe touching the hearts of everyone he meets with joy and wonder.
Our band really bonded by our mutual rooted desire to celebrate the majesty of our precious Great Lakes. This is a project that we hope will grab the families that have read the book to their kids and those that will be inspired to do so from listening to the music. The songs are emotional, fun, funny, exciting, beautiful, and interesting. Like someone told us that listened to the first “draft”…it’s classic Song of the Lakes.
This story of journey and transformation is for the young and old alike.
Stay tuned for the official 2016 Paddle Concert Tour.
