VOICES FROM BEYOND is a family tribute to our sister Julie Jensen (Griffin) who was brutally murdered by her husband, poisoned to death at age forty. Julie was the mother of two small children and was a selfless tender loving person who was the only girl of her siblings. From the year of her death in 1998, it took nearly ten years to finally convict her husband guilty of the heinous crime. He was sentenced to life in prison with no parole in Wisconsin 2008. Each piece is inspired by a small slice of Julie's life: childhood, personality, siblings, being a mother, her difficult marriage, her letter from the grave, and her living by the lake. Hopefully these small musical notes can help memorialize Julie so others can share in her sincere warm personality. To learn more about Julie and her story, visit oursisterjulie.com

what's up PATRICK . Thanks for the love and support. We just wanted to remind you our exclusive EP Let Go is coming out next week. Pre-order now and we'll hook you up with a bonus gift.
May the sun shine, all day long, everything go right, and nothing wrong. May those you love bring love back to you, and may all the wishes you wish come true !
All through the night they sought the light that would guide them for they were lost in the deep dark forest surrounded by snow. They only knew that it was imperative that they keep moving as it was getting colder now and soon it wouldn't matter because they had lost hope of ever finding shelter. So cold and tired they knew they were soon to die without the guidance of something greater than you and I.
Having no choice exhausted and scared they continued forward shivering as they walked side-by-side. All at once in the distance they saw something glowing in the cold brisk air. At first they thought it was a light but then to their despair it was Sister Aurora.
Little did they know, Aurora was showing them the way to the cabin not so far away. Their spirits uplifted they quickened the pace. Now their faces turned upward in praise seeing at once the face of an angel with rainbows, stars, and planets in her hair. She was gliding beside beloved Aurora both guiding them there to safety, a fire, and some company with plenty of everything they needed and would share.
Fear not please do not despair there is always hope when you thought no one was there. Just open your eyes and hearts and you will hear the sound of love forever it is always there it’s in the air and everywhere.
Just wanted to let you know I FINALLY have samples of the new CD "Why Can't I" uploaded to myspace. Hope you might get a chance to check them out. I've been so busy lately, not sure which direction to go. LOL -- Hope you are doing well and have a great weekend... almost there!
