Latest Release: Rose E'er Blooming
– with Jennifer Olson on various stringed instruments, and Brian Olson on percussion
Whitestar Music is proud to present our latest album, Rose E’er Blooming, by Olson Family Music. A joyous experience of Christmas past, Rose E’er Blooming is the first public album released by the highly creative duo of Olson Family Music.Olson Family Music are masters of taking traditional pieces and replicating the sounds of yesteryear by utilizing traditional, period, instruments and ancient musical modes.
Growing up, Christmases in my family usually would consist of everyone breaking out an instrument and playing carols together after the gift opening and Christmas dinner were over. Upon marrying into a family of musicians, Brian discovered his aptitude for percussion and added his unique rhythmic talent to the family tradition. This album brings the listener into our family’s holiday tradition with its instrumental versions of carols from across Europe and America.

Join us for some egg nog, a crackling fire, and the laughter and joy of a family filled with love and a heart of music.

Album Release: Aurora - First Light
– Lux Astrum's first album
"Aurora: First Light", by Lux Astrum, is the debut album for Whitestar Music, released in 1998, originally on MP3.com. A powerful and eclectic collection of New Age, Ambient, and minimalist Classical music, "Aurora: First Light" is a voyage of discovery that dances through multiple voices. Composed and recorded over 8 years prior to its release, this album spends its time exploring the vistas of music and sound.
This is a first glimpse into the world of music for me. I do not know where it may lead, but I look forward to the voyage. If you would like to read a detailed description of the origins of this album, please check out its story, here.
