A Thunderstorm

An acoustic-pop cornucopia visiting folk, bluegrass gospel, Celtic and whimsical instrumentals and acoustic-rock environments. With themes ranging from love and compassion to living life's challenging experiences, Calvin's charming, familiar vocals and sparkling instrumental performances feed the heart, the mind and the soul. Recorded with astonishing clarity and tone, the table is set for an auditory feast. This recording is definitely for lovers of acoustic guitar, mandolin, fiddle and
dobro. So, let Calvin take you on a delightful journey through Americana and America's many and varied musical landscapes.
