From New Hampshire's Reel Adventures studio, Second Sinai is the result of an ongoing collaboration of songwriter Ed Carifio, Rick Asmega and a number of their friends. Featuring Rick's often fiery guitar work, this collection of striking songs provides a savory blend of styles melding jazz, blues, latin, progressive and rock influences. Easily ranging through a variety of tempos, the musicians complement thoughtful lyrics with a matching sense of depth and drama. Written in Stone is a strong debut EP that leaves the listener eagerly awaiting more music from this team.
