The new project called ANGELFIRE, featuring DEEP PURPLE guitarist STEVE MORSE and SARAH SPENCER will finally to be released on August 11th via Radiant Records in North America, Europe and Japan.

According to a press release, it was only a matter of time. Steve Morse’s career has encompassed everything from bluegrass, to jazz fusion, to hard rock. Whether writing and performing with THE DIXIE DREGS, KANSAS, or (currently) Deep Purple, Steve’s unique approach to guitar has earned him a place among the instruments’ most respect artists. Meanwhile, a young prodigy has been honing her skills as a singer and songwriter, waiting for her moment. A chance meeting between the two begins a musical partnership between master and apprentice, yet artists of different domains. Steve’s dynamic, virtuoso style melds with Sarah’s passionate singing and pop sensibility. At first recalling SARAH MCLACHLAN meets JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, or ALISON KRAUSS & ROBERT PLANT; Angelfire soars beyond compare and into the hearts of audiences hungry for unique new music.

The album also features STEVE MORSE BAND members Van Romaine on drums and Dave La Rue on bass.

About the album Morse comments: "It's kind of acoustic stuff that I wrote with this girl singer [Sarah Spencer] that is so good. I knew her parents and they said, 'You've got to hear my daughter.' I heard her, and she was really pretty good. So I listened to more stuff, and I said bring her over and let's see if we can write something together. We did, and that first take, just nailed it."
