Cindertalk - Spero 7" Release

Cindertalk is the stage and studio name of multi-instrumentalist Jonny Rodgers (Mighty Purple, Awry, Ten Shekel Shirt, Son Lux) who plays tuned wine glasses and guitar. The album is called 'Spero' and features two songs, “Spero” and “Your Own Wings.” “Spero” is a song Jonny wrote about a former child slave he met at a benefit event. A portion of all proceeds from the album will be donated to Love146.org which helps stop child trafficking.

It’s limited to 250 copies on pure white vinyl. The sleeve is matte finish with artwork by feather artist Chris Maynard. Renowned violinist Todd Reynolds plays violin, Colin Meyer plays drums and “Spero” was produced by Lawson White (Shakira) with mastering by Eric Dawson Tate (Looper score).
