~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Classically trained from early childhood, Josie Phelan's emotive music is a synthesis of styles from ancient to modern, as well as from around the world. Imagine Celtic, Experimental and World Fusion woven into an exotic tapestry of harmony with ambient bliss throughout.  Her music will draw the listener into places that feel carved on the soul, and wistfully remembered, yet that are also new frontiers. Josie plays a unique, electric, 5-stringed, Jensen cello with incredible range and tone as well as  a rare, bowed, ancient Chinese instrument called the "rijak" that lend themselves to this evocative effect.

"To play totally in the moment," Josie reflects, "is a real leap forward in feeling and channeling creative energy." 

Her eclectic career includes years of intuitive energy work, body mechanics for musicians, teaching cello and composition. Josie relocated to Nashville, TN in 2000 and released her latest solo project, "VSNAYA, Siren Songs of the Electric Cello," in the summer of 2008.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Influences: as a child , Bach, and all the other classical music my folks listened to, and now, Everything.. I love dark, celtic, and moody, from Loreena McKennitt to Azam Ali, old 14th - 15th century musics, of course Yo Yo Ma, the singing bowls of Ben Iobst, local artists here like John Danley, Jan Pulsford, and Spacecraft, and oh ! I could go on ... but, especially I want to mention the sounds of wind and birds and rain and thunder.~ ~ ~
Sounds Like: a Touch ~She touches down to earth ~with her sacred hands , ~each touch ~ is a Note , . . . a Tone . ~ Heal with Tones ~ just one , two , three , or four are needed . Sing them , Feel them .
