Keepsake

A Silver Star. A mom’s guitar. A battle scar. A lover’s letter from long ago. All are physical things imbued with greater meaning by the memories attached and the significance they symbolize. Each, a Keepsake.

In this extraordinary concept album by Gathering Time, each song documents a distinct story, yet explores an experience common to all: a mother’s love, a changing landscape, a hopeful heart, or a broken one; stories of injuries overcome and stories of hope… and the inevitability of change with the passage of time.

“With three strong songwriters whose voices blend beautifully, the future of the folk trio is in good hands. Gathering Time has really come into its own with Keepsake.”
– Graham Dean, WBCR, Great Barrington, MA and WRPI, Troy, NY
