about

Abbey Rader:

This music is a testament to the pure, spiritual connection between John and I. After 30 years of playing together we were forced to stop due to the pandemic. Fortunately, we emerged and this album captures our best interaction yet.

It’s my hope that you listen with an empty mind and allow the music to come through you, just as it comes from the higher source through us.

John McMinn:

This music comes from forces bigger than us. It’s not commercial. It’s pure, sincere, and honest. We continue to play together on the same roadway. Abbey is a highly knowledgeable musician who loves and respects what we’re playing.

I want those who know the music to continue listening and people who aren’t familiar to keep an open mind and accept our endeavors and artistry.
