British born Mike Howe is a park ranger by day and a new age music guitarist by night. So far his guitar has been heard on two albums, Journey to Wellness and Contentment, in the Sacred Spa Music Series. On July 21st his debut album will be released on the Real Music Label.

The label give this description of the album:

Like a child’s favorite toy or a warm summer’s stroll, unadorned, gentle guitar songs bring a comfort that nurtures the soul. Inspired by the nature of the Welsh national park where Mike Howe lives and works as an ecologist. His gorgeous first album offers fifteen original compositions that will be a welcome pause in any day… a respite when time truly stands still.

And more:

Mike Howe has come to music creativity relatively late in life. With no formal musical training and no background in the industry, this sudden outpouring of musical compositions has come as bit of a surprise.

The cover looks like this:

You can now sample the album on the RealMusic homepage. It will be out on July 21st as mentioned above.

We all sometimes need a time out, a place where time stands still. So yes, this debut album is more than welcome!
