Angelfire is the collaboration between guitarist and songwriter Steve Morse and singer/songwriter Sarah Spencer. Their eponymous debut combines Morse's jazz fusion, bluegrass and baroque elements with Spencer's folk and pop acoustic.
Steve is best known as a guitarist and composer who combines multiple genres of music in unique and unexpected ways. His career has encompassed jazz fusion pioneers Dixie Dregs, progressive rock mainstays KANSAS, and his ongoing solo work. For the past 15 years, Steve has been the guitarist with metal icons Deep Purple. His accolades include Guitar Player's Best Overall Guitarist" poll for five years running and six Grammy nominations.
Sarah, 22, writes and performs songs on piano and guitar. At 14, she was cast in a VH1 reality show (ultimately cancelled) that followed the lives of teenage prodigies. Writing operatic pop genre and soundtrack-style songs, she began working with established producers during her teens, recording live-orchestral songs. More recently, her songs have incorporated elements of folk music.
Their collaboration represents several firsts for them both. Even after 44 albums, Steve has never written a vocal album. Sarah is stepping out front as a performer and songwriter. And despite their cumulative experience spanning multiple genres of music, neither has written anything that sounds like Angelfire.
