Description
On his second album Summer Sands & Sleeping Bears, fingerstyle acoustic guitarist and composer James Filkins creates acoustic instrumental music that is a bit new age, a bit Celtic, acoustically melodic, moody and sonically textured. Inspired by the landscape and locations around Northwestern Lower Michigan, both title tracks were inspired by the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and Leland Harbor. According to Patrick Ragains of The Minor 7th, The music on Summer Sands & Sleeping Bears is "reflective and never hurried... A musical departure that expresses the peace and joy of having been here, and the hope to return." ORIGIINAL RELEASE DATE JUNE 12, 2012
