OK. No more secrets. It’s Penn Strings. First, we’ve recorded a duo of Chris Souza on violin and Stan Stewart on guitar. Hear the fruits of our initial labor in this sampler. Enjoy!

Hear music by Stan: here is a sample of Penn Strings violin (Chris Souza) and guitar (Stan Stewart) duo. For a shorter version, please visit the music page.

We’ve started recording music tracks at the lovely Music for the Moment Studio. Can’t tell you — yet — what we’re working on, but it’s going to be very exciting: new collaborations unfolding and we’re already making beautiful music together.

PULSE arrives mid-month in June: 14th at 7:30PM.

PULSE is a free-form dance to live drummers that allows the dancer to follow her/his own leading. What is it that you need right now? Are you looking for insight? Peace? Direction? Find it in the dance. Or just dance for dancings sake.

We warm up our bodies (and drums) at 7:30PM in Wellspring Holistic Center (554 Main Street, 2nd Floor, Stroudsburg, PA). Then, we dance (or find stillness if that is your dance!) for three 20-minute segments of drumming. If you have not experienced PULSE yet, now is the time. Bless yourself with the heartbeat of PULSE.
