This a new release from a dear friend of mine, Sheila Bommakanti aka Cober. This is her first pedal steel record and I'm so happy to have her in the Sierra family!

You can find her music here:

Also available on Apple Music and Spotify

Nice work Sheila!

I found "First Light" particularly appealing. To me, it seemed very peaceful but still with motion and fluidity.

Your steel playing on "Mi Alma" sounds so full and luxurious! It seems like one could reach out and touch it.

Congratulations on your new release

I'm going to wait until the next Bandcamp Friday (4/7/2023) so that Sheila can get more of the $$ (missed the last one by a day).

I'm so proud of Sheila! I had here in for a few live lessons, right before the Covid lockdown. She came in as an already experienced and accomplished musician, and took to pedal steel instantly. Outstanding music from such a new player!

Excellent work! (Excellent steel, Ross.)
So good to hear the instrument being explored rather than treated as a 'lick machine'.
Lovely music!

Great album! Deep vibes, simple emotive structures and great storytelling. Kudos!

As I said I would, I waited until today, Bandcamp Friday when the company cut of the $$ is reduced.

Sweet job, Sheila!
