Riding between worlds, these seasoned story-weavers draw listeners into the experience the places and times that served as inspiration for their unique compositions: A hovering hawk takes flight through string-tapping on Rick Cyge’s prized Lowden guitar; ocean surf resonates in the warm and mellow tones of Lynn Trombetta’s flute. Along the way, Meadowlark seems to change character in “chameleon-like” fashion from song to song, melding influences as diverse as Celtic, African, and Mediterranean in their original compositions. Meadowlark’s repertoire includes instrumental compositions inspired by Sedona and the desert southwest region, including “Creek Spirit”, written about Trombetta’s experience in the canyons of Sedona, where she spent her childhood summers, playing her flute from high and allowing the sounds to waft down through Oak Creek. Concert performances may also include mandolin, violin (Allen Ames) and world percussion, (Step Raptis). It’s no surprise to learn that Meadowlark’s influences include some of the most talented writers and arrangers in contemporary music, including Nightnoise, Tingstad & Rumbel, Montreux, James Taylor and Algerian-born French guitarist Pierre Bensusan.
