Description:
The legendary voyages of the 5th century Irish monk Saint Brendan are one of the most enduring allegories of the Christian tradition.
On Prayers of St. Brendan keyboard ace Jeff Johnson tells the tale, weaving Celtic, classical, rock and medieval music into a brilliant mix of vocals and instrumentals. In this inspiring story of miracles and visions, fears and doubts, Brendan’s prayers become a triumphant and heartfelt expression of the human spirit challenged by the unknown.
Keyboards and vocals by Jeff Johnson. Additional vocals by classical singer Janet Chvatal, with Brian Dunning on flute and pennywhistle, Tim Ellis electric and acoustic guitars, John Lemkuhl and Gregg Williams drums, Phil Baker bass, Adele O’Dwyer cello, Jamie Sieber electric cello and Roger Hadley percussion. With an introduction by Stephen Lawhead, author of The Pendragon Cycle and Byzantium.
