The Whispering Tree joined me this week in the studio.The duo of Eleanor Kleiner and Elie Brangbour shared some live music as well as songs from their brand new CD Invisible Forces.

Invisible Forces, is the fourth recording by the fiercely independent twosome, was self-produced, fan-funded and recorded at Elie and Eleanor’s home studio in Beacon, NY and at Old Soul Studio in Catskill, NY. The album explores a deeply personal and political landscape, with themes of hope, despair and social consciousness.
