Rising The East Bay Express calls Avalon Rising "The new arbiters of cool" Avalon Rising's new album, "Storming Heaven", continues to receive wonderful reviews, including a fabulous review in Guitar Player Magazine. Referring to us as "absolutely stellar musicians", the review includes one of the best complements I've ever had, when referring to Margaret and I: "The duo's soaring,
almost achingly
sensual phrasing gives age-old and original melodies near-cinematic
impact. (Don't be surprised or embarrassed if you shed a tear when
listening to their plaintive harmonic dances -- it just means you're a
living, breathing, feeling person.)" - Michael Molenda, Guitar
Player Magazine
