The Voice

...Caitelen's stunning voice.

Our son and his family in Albuquerque, NM have an amazing bunch of friends. Ian is a musician and always manages to surround himself with professional quality musicians. This was the case when “Sydney’s Song” was produced. For those who aren’t aware of this recording, you can read more HERE


Just recently, Caitelen Schneeberger, the singer who gave voice to “Sydney’s Song” released a seven song EP that you can hear or purchase HERE.  Our son did the drums and percussion on the project and worked with other talented musicians at Desert Springs Church in ABQ.

I have been listening to this EP for nearly two weeks and it is amazing. The whole production is restrained and uncluttered, which creates the perfect frame to highlight Caitelen’s stunning voice. My favorite tracks are “Aria’s Song”, written about Caitelen’s daughter; “Take Me Down”, a wonderfully Appalachian flavored tune, and “Beautiful”.  BTW, at the beginning and end of "Aria's Song" you'll hear the actual heartbeat of Aria in utero, reminding us of the wisdom in Psalm 139 that we are all fearfully and wonderfully made.
  
Caitelen and her husband, daughter Aria, and a new child on the way, are moving to California to begin a new ministry. Any proceeds from the sale of “Dark Is Light” go to support that effort.

I don’t think you’ll be able to listen to any of the songs without being moved.

Blessings,
Ken
