CD/DVD Releases: Tempest Release "The Tracks We Leave Behind"

Posted on Monday, April 13 @ 23:00:00 UTC by nightowl

Tempest's latest was released at the end of February...

The last 27 years have seen Tempest release nine critically acclaimed CDs on Magna Carta, and play more than 2,000 gigs. 2015 will see Tempest continue touring and bringing their Celtodelic Rock to their established and new fans while supporting their new album The Tracks We Leave on Magna Carta Records.

Tempest were inspired by a Dakota Sioux proverb on teh The Tracks We Leave, which was has triple references to the environmental, spiritual and musical tracks we leave upon the world we live in.

Since forming in 1988, Tempest has delivered a hybrid of high-energy Celtic Rock. But as the band as matured throughout the years, their music has morphed stylistically. World Music has seeped into Tempest's overall sound because the band members are drawn to traditional and ethnic msuic from around the globe. There has been a natural progression towards coloring Tempest's music with elements from Scandinavia, India, African and Arabic countries. Middle Eastern flavors, traditional Irish and Scottish Medleys mingle with Robert Burns poems, Norwegian lyrics and heavy rock instrumentals on Tempest's finest record to date.

Keeping the spirits of the audience and the band uplifted through energetic and entertaining performances that span the specrum from Celtic and Folk Festivals to Rock Clubs has always been the ultimate goal for Tempest.

Tempest are: Lief Sorbye (vocals, mando guitar, acoustic and electric mandolines), Adolfo Lazo (drums), Gregory Jones (guitars), Kathy Buys (fiddle) and Josh Fossgreen (bass).
