THE SINGING EARTH is a collection of musical adventure stories from musician and writer Barrett Martin.

Those who read and listen to the musical journey that Martin describes will find themselves transported through exotic global landscapes where they learn about the connections between ecology, community, and the music that connects us to our greater humanity.
