Willow Pearson's collaboration with her Boulder band.

Willow's second album, Bowing to Venus, released winter 2005/6, features 11 original compositions written in collaboration with her band. Tantric philosophy meets avantgarde music.

This song cycle draws on the diverse influences of pop/alternative rock, bluesy jazz, soul, and world music. It is, by nature, a spiritual inquiry born of the transmutation of desire. Featuring musical collaboration with Todd Ayers (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, production), Anthony Salvo (saxophones, violin), Trent Hines (piano, keyboard), Greg Wilkins (drum kit, percussion) and Hannah Alkire (cello).

As a whole, the project is inspired by the veneration of the sacred feminine, resting within and illuminated by the view of dharmic wisdom.
