Very pretty!  I like it a lot!!!  Wire harps really have a cool sound!

This is a delightful tune and lovely rendtion. Thank you!

The wire strings have more reverb than I'm used to. This recording is very well made, however.

What a beautiful haunting melody!  The wire harp sounds fantastic.

Lovely recording - sounds good enough to eat! (and I mean that as a big, big complement). It's impossible not to smile listening to this gorgeous sound.

This track is from the album Black Rose and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/scotthoye

The South Wind/Carrickfergus

L'Infidele

Recorded Live at Roslindale Congregational Church 4/13/2015. Thanks to Steve Friedman for the recording, and Alex Knutrud for the beautiful painting!

Banks of Bann

Manx tune.  I recorded this as a first pass at recording my new James Skeen, 26 string wire strung Folcharp.  It really sounds lovely, despite the clumsy performance on my part.  Please accept my apologies while I get more acclimated to wire technique.  

Song of the Water Kelpie

William Blake tune in second phase.  Vocal tracks tightened and cleaned up. 

The Sick Rose

I've always had some degree of wanderlust.   I wrote this song while being unemployed in Helsinki - the summer before I landed my first "real" job.

Therapy with First Responders

Solo acoustic guitar from yours truly.  Written in 1990, played 'round the world for almost three decades; finally recorded in 2019.

Deer Dancing (2019)

I've played 'round the world with these original solo acoustic pieces since the early nineties; finally got around to recording this one in 2019.  

Invoking  those slow, deep, muddy rivers, like the Huron in Michigan...

River Song (for Maxine) (2019)

I was playing this for my friend Frank, in suburban Detroit in the early 1990's...upon first hearing it, he said only, "I'm smiling."  :)
