Since 1993, Meadowlark has created music that is as magical and enchanting as it is unsuited to any conventional definition. Guitarist Rick Cyge explains, “Our music is a hybrid, deriving its unique personality from a plethora of sources.  It’s the Meadowlark sound! We’ve been called 'New Age',  'Folk', 'Contemporary Acoustic', 'Celtic' (heavy Celtic influences do weave throughout our music), but really we are all and none of those. I’ve coined a phrase (Or at least am under the misguided notion that I have!) called 'New World Music'. It’s sort of a double entendre if you will. On the one hand it is world music, but not the traditional ethnic music we’ve come to mean when we say ' world music'. It’s original, drawing influences from different cultures, hence 'New World Music'. On the other hand, it is truly contemporary American music written here and now (music of the New World).”

As Meadowlark has evolved from its inception as a collaborative duo between Cyge and flutist Lynn Trombetta, it has escaped all categorization and together they have created a signature sound all their own.

“Much of the music we compose is written in direct response to our experiences in nature,” Trombetta adds. “For instance, 'Circle of Giants' was written after spending time deep in the redwood forest and soaking up that awesome energy. The only sounds to be heard were the rustling of pine needles in the breeze and the gentle creaking of the trees. We translated that experience into music. It is quite common that our audiences experience their own reflective journeys when we perform.” 

Meadowlark’s exquisitely fresh “New” sound is truly lighter than air!
