I am so excited about this newly remastered release of "of Light and Shadows" performed by Stephen Page and Liz Ames, recorded by Calvin Cates, and mastered by Tyler R. Young for Soundset Records. This is one of my absolute favorite recordings of my music. Stream it today on all the major platforms!
