his website at www.jameskole.com.

The LeMond Sisters are a trio
including Ashley (18), Kandace (16), and Tarah (14). For the past 9 years
they have performed at numerous public and private functions. It's true
- though possibly misleading - to say they've sung many times on local
radio statios, all in attempts (most successful) to win concert tickets!
Music is without a doubt their favorite form of entertainment. They're
grateful and honored to be selected to perform on this C.D. - their professional
recording debut.
Vocalist Allison Liddell was
born and raised in Flagstaff, Arizona and studied at the University of
Puget Sound, Northern Arizona University, and The University of Arizona,
where she earned her Master's Degree in Structural Engineering. She comes
from an artistic family, having studied ballet for nearly 18 years, and
recently, formally studying voice for the last six. "I sing to keep my
sanity, as it's about the furthest thing removed from all the hard science
of engineering as I can get." Recently married, Allison and her husband
are expecting their first child on Thanksgiving Day (Ashton Bryce Liddell
joined the world on November 30, 2002), and looking forward to sharing
this album with him.
Thom Milburn's original scoring
work can be heard on the animated video The
Adventures of Wildfire and he will continue working with the Scottish
Winters Productions, Inc. Films
Division on upcoming projects. His original piece for this collection
was inspired by his work on the Wildfire project and has been pre-approved
by his grandchildren.
Robin Rio is a singer/songwriter
who enjoys performing a variety of musical styles. She has studied classical
and jazz, and is currently exploring the sounds of medieval and Renaissance
music with the ensembles Cappella Sonora and Bartholomew Faire. While living
in New York, Robin sang with "Soul Purpose" an all-female musical group.
Robin has her master's degree in music therapy, and uses music to improve
emotional health, promote relaxation and enhance quality of life with patients
in medical facilities. She currently teaches music therapy at Arizona State
University.
