Ivan & Alyosha

Beyond The Surface Menu

This week I’m serving up music this hour that dives into some deep territories in story-telling and emotional content, with a show titled Beyond The Surface. Sometimes it’s good to focus on musical themes. This time I have songs involving letting go, betrayal, forgiveness, and love. New music and some older stuff all in the mix with the flavors of soul, folk, rock, and even gospel. The Appetizer is available for seconds, thirds, or even eighths. Hear the show again. Click HERE. Enjoy!
