Three Thousand Miles - BY NOW!! at CD Baby ( www.cdbaby.com ) and itunes.

And then Sunday comes... or maybe it was a Thursday. Whatever the day a connection between two musicians on either side of the Atlantic was made, via the MySpace site. Rebecca in New York, writing, recording, gigging, and generally toiling away on many wonderful musical flavours. Chris in London pursuing his own creative muse.

Happily, for lovers of quality music, they decided to write together, taking no notice of the three thousand miles between them.

The fruit of their collaboration is a beguiling, enchanting, deeply satisfying collection of songs. So enjoy the grooves, the lush atmospheres, the beautiful melodies, and be glad of a connection made.
