Roots and Branches: digging deep and reaching up
A beautiful trio of poetry, song and music, exploring the theme of the roots that connect us and the ways in which we blossom. Listen to moving lyricist Jim Videto with his guitar and silky voice, harmonizing with Anne Hurley’s beautiful rippling piano, woven with the evocative words of poet Kate Marshall Flaherty from Toronto. This trio will ground you and at the same time inspire you with their blend of poetry, music and song … branch out and come!
