The Music of Earthshine

The music we love ...

Kris and Scott were brought together by shared love of music... specifically the seminal Canadian band Rush. In fact, they made their acquaintance in a record store! Fancy that!

However, their respective musical influences are distinct from one another to a large extent, and they theorize that this is part of what makes their music the richly far-ranging musical potpourri that it is.

The following lists were created by each a few years ago to give Earthshine fans some sense of where we feel we come from musically. (sorry about the 1st to third person shifts there...)

Organ Music of 17th - 20th century
