Interview with Harpist d’Rachael

This podcast features an interview with our friend and longtime musical collaborator d’Rachael (aka Diane Rachael). Dean Evenson and I met d’Rachael in the early years of creating of our record label Soundings of the Planet. She was already an accomplished musician and when she added the gentle tones of her harp to Dean’s flute, it helped give birth to the inspired and magical sound that spawned a generation of peaceful earth music. Even though she has lived in Mexico for almost 40 years, d’Rachael and Dean have maintained their unique collaboration on numerous recordings and live concerts. Recently, they completed recording a wonderful new album called Tropical Relaxation set for release November 15th.  Hope you enjoy learning more about d’Rachael.

Interview with guitar virtuoso Scott Huckabay

Scott Huckabay is a trance guitarist and musical shaman who draws from nature and his Apache Chiricahua roots to create transcendent experiences. His music has been called a cross between Jim Hendrix, Michael Hedges and Ravi Shankar. After a near fatal motorcycle accident, Scott picked up an acoustic guitar and a new kind of healing music began to flow through him. In this interview, he shares stories of his native background and about his mother being taken from her family and sent off to an Indian boarding school where she was tortured for just speaking her native language. Scott carries the fire of his tribal roots through his energetic and uplifting guitar performances and recordings.
