Possibly the most down-to-earth artist I've ever met - and even talked to (!). I'm really glad I was there to see him and the "band" today.

I have an old write up with a B/W picture of Vollenweider from about 1985. The only identifying info is 37793. Let me know if anyone is interested.

Andreas Vollenweider is a genius of rare magnitude. His harmonies will startle and soothe you at the same time. His unique harp creates a sound shared by VERY few other composers. Listen to all of his albums and you will be inspired! One suggestion: if you love AV you will probably love Freidemann Witecka, especially his Indian Summer album. Check it out.

"White Winds" was always my favorite... Saw him live YEARS ago at the Greek Theater on the UC Berkley campus... Incredible.
