With 3 cameras on hand, Terry Currie did a beautiful job of capturing our performance of Bach in Ireland. Thanks to a long flight from NYC to San Francisco and the availability of an electrical outlet (go Delta!)…

…Maria had a moment to edit together the shots and produce this video that we’re very excited to share with you:

Maria put together this video to explain what we’re all about.  Please enjoy!

Antoine Bancharel captured Sonic Escape‘s season-opening performance for Curiosity Concerts in Greenwich, CT.  Check out his stunning photos here!

Today’s Washington Daily News features Sonic Escape’s interview with Vail Stewart Rumley about their upcoming residency in North Carolina.  The 2 mainstage concerts, 11 outreach shows/public workshops and morning news show appearance run from October 3 – 9.  Check it out – SONIC BLAST: Musicians meld cultures in MainStage concert

After a magical summer away (more about that soon) WE ARE BACK!  We’re putting together some videos from our performances and adventures… here’s the first.  The theme from one of Maria’s favorite childhood movies – Tonari no Totoro – with a twist at the end!

We’re really looking forward to our line up of concerts, workshops and residencies starting in September 2014 – we’ll be touring the South for the first time in addition to returning to the West Coast, Rockies, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, East Coast and (way) up North!  Keep an eye on our calendar as we’ll be posting dates over the next few weeks…

The Telegraph Herald caught wind of Shawn and Maria’s 20-concert, tri-state residency hosted by the Dubuque Arts Council and featured it on their front page!  Read the full story or check out their video with interview & performance clips.  (Article & video by Mary Nevans-Pederson / photos by Jessica Reilly)

“Wonderfully imaginative,” “smile-inducing,” “impressive” and “designed to entertain” – just some of what Stephen Brookes of The Washington Post had to say about Sonic Escape’s performance & original works! Click the logo for the full review.

Our streak of playing for AWESOME Ontario audiences continues!  We’ve now performed in Toronto, Ottawa, Clarendon, Ingersoll, Elora, Sioux Lookout, Kenora and, just last night, Sarnia.  Thanks to the Sarnia Concert Association for reminding us we’ve gotta move here!  Click the pic for a full-size view.

Paul Morden of the Sarnia Observer recently interviewed Shawn about Sonic Escape’s love affair with all things Ontario.  Keep an eye out for the premiere of our vocal/instrumental rendition of The Log Driver’s Waltz – a Canadian folk favourite – this coming Wednesday at the Imperial Theatre in Sarnia!

A mid-concert photo op with the wonderful audience in Mathews, VA!  Thank you to Concerts by the Bay and sound engineer, George, for a delightful afternoon.  It’s always a pleasure to perform when the sound and company are great!  Click the pic for a full-size view.

After a happy whirlwind month on the road, we got to enjoy some downtime and design our new site!  Now all those photos, videos and recordings from our travels & concerts have a home!!  We look forward to sharing our world with you… thanks for stopping by.
