Confessio: Irish American Roots CD

Description

Announcing Confessio: A diary of hymns and songs that underscore the Gettys’ Irish American journey.

This collection is a ‘confessio’ in word and note of the musical and spiritual roots that continue to call us to the ancient paths. When Psalm 1 compares the godly life to a tree planted by streams of water it is a water stream reached for by millions of people over centuries and around the world who have joined their roots together.

This idea of intertwining roots also paints a beautiful picture of how our musical roots link. They help strengthen old shelters and blossom new trees.

Over the last 20 years of writing and recording music we have leaned on this - the heritage of our Irish and Scottish roots and how they grew across to the new world where we now make our home.

This album shares the words and melodies of that journey.
