Souls of the Birds

(IT-041)

Tom Mank and Sera Smolen have been performing and writing music together since 1994. Although Mank is a self-taught singer-songwriter and Smolen is a conservatory trained cellist, their musical languages blend into an eclectic style. Guitar, voice, and cello have so many ways of blending, with cello as bass, and doubling with guitar or voice, then taking the solo line. Mankís eloquent writing of instrumentals is contrasted well with his poetic lyrics.
