Brick and Mortar - CD
"Brick & Mortar" is available now at cdbaby and live concerts! Download the whole album right into your ipod.
"Brick & Mortar" is the seventh release from Kate Power & Steve Einhorn. Folk rodeo harmony, yodels and all, singing stories of "Highway 101", "Under the Moon", from the saddle of the last of the cowboys in "Wallowa" to the flirty romance of "Crush" in a bar, and then the cost of one man's voice in "Travis John" to Zulu and a lullaby. "Brick & Mortar" sings. All original, live and hands on.
"I am sent immediately to that place of safety that can only be reached at the hands of journeymen artists. The power and precision of their performance gives me the complete trust to lean into the music, to get lost in it.
Then Power takes out a ukulele and begins "Before You Go", a song she wrote for Einhorn. He joins her on guitar. It is a sweet song with sweet harmony. Like all good folk songs, it sounds as if nobody wrote it. It is as if it's always been there."
- NW Examiner, April 2009
Recorded live in the intimate setting of Kung Fu Bakery with engineer, Bob Stark at the board in Portland, Oregon.

The cost of one man's voice, "Travis John" is a young soldier's farewell. "Pearls" pays tribute to the life of Travis John Bradach-Nall, who grew up down the street in Portland, Oregon. For the ones he loved and left behind, as well as for the rest of us who came to know him in the wake of his young life, his song is sung as a prayer for peace.

Celtic Twilight 3: Lullabies - CD
Contemporary artists from Ireland, Scotland, and the U.S. tap into the wellspring of Celtic tradition, while taking the unique ambiance of the Hearts of Space style to another level. On the opening track, ARCADY's "John O'Dreams," the playful steps of BRENDAN POWER's harmonica and NIAMH PARSONS' affectionate vocals are set against a delightfully pastoral landscape of guitar, strings and woodwinds. The lyric refrain, "All things are equal when the day is done," breathes a hope-filled message to the world. The other ARCADY track, "Lullabye," featuring a wonderful vocal performance by FRANCES and MARY BLACK, supports the theme of reunication after periods of sorrow.
Four songs, newly commissioned for Lullabies, will enthrall both Celtic enthusiasts and new listeners. KATE POWER's deliciously dusky voice and delicate guitar work showcase the evocative lyrics of Castle of Dromore. Similarly, the rened folk sensibility of JULIE LAST's original "Nightingale's Lullaby," and the gentle blend of synths and harp of BARBARA HIGBIE's "Asleep in My Arms," open a path to dream-lands. Finally, a new instrumental by Jeff Johnson and BRIAN DUNNING, "All Through The Night," joins ambient strains and Celtic visions, with definite soundtrack appeal.

Celtic Twilight 4: Celtic Planet - CD
Like its predecessor Lullabies, Celtic Twilight 4: CelticPlanet is an inspiring concentration of Celtic sound, with the Hearts of Space nod to the global community, and energizing forum for creative artists. A featured track, SHEILA CHANDRA's "Lament of McCrimmon/Song ofthe Banshee", brings to mind Baaba Maal's "Call to Prayer" and other mystical hymns by her Real World labelmates at its inception but unfolds to reveal a Celtic lament, complete with Chandra's ever-mysterious vocals.
Following notes across fading borders, Dubliner Declan Masterson's "Spanish Point" serves as a reminder of the Celtic outpost in Spain. The delicate interplay of flamenco guitar and whistles moves past nostalgia to an ancient, common longing. CARLOS NUNEZ's "Two Shores" is even more Latin, but with flauta standing out in the breezy mix. The track also features the stylized-guitar and mandolin work of RY COODER.
The Pacific Northwest is another Celtic bastion and a home to folkster KATE POWER and harp guitarist JOHN DOAN, whose respective tracks "Wild Wind" and "Where Horses of Faery Hide" are expertly produced by Nightnoise's BILLY OSKAY. Power's rich, well-articulated vocals on the chorus, "Oh Wild Wind, won't you blow and carry me to my love," enhances the need for love and unity. Doan's track is a wistful journey througha mythic space, cymbal washing in heroic parades and whistling the commencements.
