Flute Flight Duo
Sherry and Mark first met around 2006 on one of the first musician networking sites, Myspace. They each enjoyed and appreciated each others music and tone of their respective flutes. On one of Marks tours throughout AZ, he invited Sherry to join him on an improvisational song, and continued to invite her to sit in on various shows over the next few years. Mark and Sherry both knew that the blend of their sounds created something meaningful and magical, and in March 2015, they performed many shows together throughout AZ as a duo, and received many requests from their fans to record an album together. So in May of 2015, Sherry flew to St. Louis to record Flute Flight with Mark at Sawhorse Studios. Pati Pellerito joins them in their collaboration by adding a very creative variety of healing instruments, such as Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, and Kaizen drum. Cory Edwards adds his sensitive musical touch on piano, synthesizer and guitar, while Josh Daly throws in a splash of world percussion.
Flute Flight synergistically blends and balances the silver flute with the wood flute. Music that is passionate and sensuous. Colorful and expressive. Alluring and enchanting. Flute Flight will transport you along an enigmatic sound journey.
