Funk, Blues, Jazz and Americana all thrown in a blender together. The result? Thirteen instrumental "stories" taken from rowdy bars, rural landscapes, parisian cafes, busy street markets. Equal doses of fun/rowdy and tranquil beauty.

Details:
Facing Southeast, by SwansonPackard is a collaboration between bassist Bruce Swanson and composer/producer Kevin Packard. Kevin is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer whose award-winning work is heard in film, TV, Theater and Dance. Utilizing Bruceâs wonderfully unique and virtuosic bass compositions as a foundation, Kevin enlisted an amazing collection of instruments, voices and sounds to create beautiful, artful songs for Facing Southeast. Each piece effortlessly invokes images that suggest stories as unique and individual as the composers.

âIf you are starting to think that all music falls into an easily labeled category inside of which all the music sounds the same, take a listen to Facing Southeast. If you are like me, you will find yourself immediately captivated and wanting to stay around to hear more........ close your eyes and take a listen and watch all the images take shape. This is very fun musicâ.
