Bio for indie artist Sora – Heartw...
I imagine great Canadian painter Emily Carr would be keen on Sora’s music. They share an affinity for nature and forests that breathes in their works. “I tread the forests of your eyes. Wild paths within. Dappled sunlight moves us in circles. Gravity of a sigh.” These opening lines from Heartwood, the title track of Sora’s 2009 release calls to mind Carr paintings Path Among Pines or Deep Forest, Lighted. Sora’s ability to conjure up scents, textures and the essence of nature through her lyrics stems from the deep meaning she finds in the natural world. “I am...
Indie artist Sora – Bio for EP
Not many mothers can say that they fiddled their way through Australia, Norway, Scotland, New Zealand and England. Nor can many mothers say that they toured though out Canada playing fiddle with the soon to be members of “Barrage”. Well not many mothers are like Sora.

As the roller coaster rides, and so we rise or fall. Screaming deep inside, asking who I am and what do I want? But what the hell are we thinking? Can't even swim and the boat is sinking.
To toil all day and save for morrow, Or soak up the sun and have to borrow. Either way how does one win? Where does failure stop, And success begin?

This is where I'll share advance info about projects that are in the works.
Feb 1/12 I have a new book project officially underway. My Healing Circle Puzzles book details are here.
Spring 2011, I'm working on a book that I've wanted to finish for at least eight years. No decision on title, so I can't share that yet. Once the design for cover art is complete I'll post it to give you a sneak preview.
