I am thrilled to share that the new Duende album Drift is now available via the following online music outlets:

This album features seven tracks including five original compositions by yours truly, an original bass feature by Farko Dosumov and our own “Duendefied” rendition of the Chick Corea classic “Spain.”

Chava Mirel is featured on three tracks on the album: “Zephyr,” “Spain” and “Subway.”

But that’s not all! We’ll be celebrating the release of “Drift” (our second album) on Friday, June 29th at Rainier Arts Center in Columbia City, presented by KEXP’s Wo’Pop. For this special All-Ages event we will be joined by Chava Mirel and Special Guest Frank Anderson! Tickets available HERE!

Thanks for your support!

Love from Duende
