Inspired by the works of medieval French troubadours, VIDA tells a story of love through medieval and newly-composed music, prose, and poetry. It recreates the magic of fireside storytelling, captivating listeners for an imagined journey.

See below for sound samples, and all the historical background you could possibly hope to find out! This disc is available for purchase at www.cdfreedom.com, www.cdbaby.com, and selected store locations.

"VIDA" has been with me for 4 years, both in concept and execution. Despite all obstacles , there was always something about this project, this little story about love, that would not let me abandon it. I wanted to many times, but something about it kept drawing me back and forcing me to give it a place to exist. I would hope that you will find some element of beauty in this little world of VIDA, and that it will serve as an inspiration and entrancement to you as well.
Here are some additional pages to help bring VIDA to life....
