Jon's
love for music and
nature was nurtured from an early
age.
While his dad introduced him to the rivers
and mountains of
Idaho, his mom encouraged his creative
and musical side. Moving to Southern California in the late
60's,
Jon continued his journey of integration, blending his talents in the
performing arts with the inspiration he finds in staying
connected and in good relationship with the natural community
here. As an eco-musician Jon has
been using a solar
powered sound system since 1989, participating in many local
environmentally conscious
events and completing 3 CDs of original, bioregionally focused music
and poetry. Having
played wooden recorders, professionally, since 1974 and the
Native American flute since
1993, Jon started hand-crafting branch flutes 12 years ago ~
his Dryad Flutes highly sought after now for their quality
of craftsmanhip, unique natural beauty and ecological integrity.

Sabine
has had a love for music and nature
since studying
classical piano
as a young girl growing up under the green forests of
Germany. After earning her PhD in biology, her career as
a scientist brought Dr. Kurz to
the United States, where her heart opened to the beautiful yet
increasingly endangered ecoregions of North America. She now
teaches college level biology in the San Diego area and is a
certified yoga
instructor, helping to open the minds and hearts of her students to
environmental awareness. Expressing herself musically, Sabine
performed with the Latin Jazz band Cadencia on
keyboards, percussion and lead vocals, recording three CDs with that
group. A deeply spiritual
experience in an old growth forest inspired a quest to
find a flute that could better express the deeper realization of Life
that had opened up to her. Having learned about the branch
flutes Jon Sherman
was making,
a
very special relationship was born.
