"Like a rich wine or an encounter with an old flame, Avalon Rising is to be experienced more than described." -- Jan Jacquet, Victory Review Avalon Rising is an enchanting, electro-acoustic blend of Medieval, Celtic, and original music. The shimmering interplay of guitar, Celtic harp, and flute accompanies the soaring vocals of lead vocalists Margaret Davis and Kristoph Klover. Ranging from driving Irish and Middle Eastern worldbeat sounds to haunting, Celtic harp-based ballads, Avalon Rising weaves a magical tapestry of sound in the same vein as Loreena McKennitt, Renaissance, and Dead Can Dance.The lyrics of Avalon Rising speak of love and longing, quests and revels, magic and transformation in an evocative language which resonates from ancient origins to the heart of the listener. Powerful and entrancing, their richly textured sound weaves together original music with the magical echoes of Medieval, Celtic, and Middle Eastern music to create a glowing new musical vision. Members: Kristoph Klover, Margaret Davis, Deirdre McCarthy, Beth Milne, Pete Gascoyne. Produced by Kristoph Klover and Margaret Davis.
