A Six String Odyssey
Much like the Greek epic The Odyssey, A Six String Odyssey is a journey shaped by a diverse group of musicians, each bringing a distinct musical personality, unique talents, and exceptional skills to an unfolding adventure told from multiple perspectives. Their paths intersect throughout the album, with each track serving as both a chapter and a destination for the listener—complete with its own interpretation, emotion, and story. The result is an eight-chapter odyssey featuring six central characters, The London Symphony, Sterling Choir LA, and a rich supporting cast, all united in pushing creative boundaries and forging something entirely new.
