Flutist Greg Pattillo, Cellist Eric Stephenson, and Double Bassist Peter Seymour – you might not know their names, but when they come together – oh, the music they make. After 40 million views, PROJECT Trio’s YouTube channel, “Freedomworksfilms”, has amassed a following of over 45,000 subscribers. Pattillo has been lauded by The New York Times as “the best person in the world at what he does.” And what he does is beatbox flute. That’s right. It’s something new that’s pretty unforgettable once you hear it.

With their past recordings being featured in a wide variety of TV shows, movie trailers, independent films, and even a Top 40 hit, it’s no surprise that singer/songwriter Stephanie Richards and composer/songwriter/producer Brian Arbuckle make great music together as Sunshine Collective. Perfect for fans of the jaunty sunshine pop of Ingrid Michaelson and Regina Spektor. With notable guest appearances from Gin Blossoms’ Jesse Valenzuela and “Legs” Larry Smith of the legendary Bonzo Dog Band, this is an album of upbeat fun tunes that tickle the ear.
