Join the celebration at Soapbox Gallery in Brooklyn on August 6th.
Releasing August 25 is Story of the Sky, the debut family album by husband and wife team Morley and Chris Bruce as The Bruces and featuring artists including David Amram, Toshi Reagon, Maria Popova, Martha Redbone and many more.
This Sunday, August 6, The Bruces will host a special release concert at Soapbox Gallery in Brooklyn which will include many guests from the album: Toshi Reagon, Martha Redbone, Trina and Arun Ramamurthy, Kenita Miller and Justin Hicks.
The collection is a multi-cultural and inter-generational treasury of nineteen original songs in praise of interdependence and the natural world. Story of the Sky is a beginning-of-life narrative and moral compass project. Its diverse musical blend creates a soothing yet robust listening experience full of gentle guidance for today's youth. Collectively it is a celebration of what is best in us and an antidote to destructive and self-destructive learned habits with which no child is born.
The first single "Where Do We Come From" is out now at bandcamp. The album releases 8/4 at Bandcamp, and 8/25 everywhere.
