about

As with all Betsy's solo albums, Luminous is a rich and varied collection of instrumental songs. Betsy's cello weaves through all the pieces, sometimes lyric and graceful, sometimes bold and crunchy, and always evoking a particular mood or image. The songs were inspired by sneaky alligators, introverted trees, a helpful elephant, courting owls, and so much more! They can't wait to meet you! (Especially the alligators.)

The instrumentation includes not only plenty of cello, but also acoustic guitar, barred owls, more cello, electric guitar, songbirds, drums, marimba, latin percussion, and even more cello.
