Two years since we first entered the studio to record the first track, our second full album 'Wish Me Away' is ready to share with the world!  Life and all its challenges - as for many around us - delayed us from releasing the album months ago, so to get to this point is like reaching the top of a mountain  But alas it is complete, every project is a completion of another chapter in one's journey. Great growth and a great learning curve. We can't wait for you all to hear the unreleased tracks. To us it represents a gateway to another place.  It's an eclectic sound journey with tracks that take us into the heart, through dream time and ancient landscapes.  The album celebrates the beautiful planet we call home, and there’s a call to return to our authentic selves, the place we spend a life time looking for. Owning that inner power everyone has within to rise and to love oneself, others and the planet. The album also features two other amazing musicians: accomplishes classical pianist  Vanessa Sanfilippo on piano from France and the multi-talented Forbes Coleman on guitar/bass and lots more. Thank you for joining us in this creation! Listen or purchase the digital download on Bandcamp :  https://scottmaria.bandcamp.com/album/wish-me-away Physical CDs will also be available from February 2022 with song booklet and artwork too.  The album named itself, as the first letters of the ten tracks spelt out Wish Me Away all by themselves. Here is the full album track listing: Wind Blows I Am The One Soul Driver Home Mother Calls Evergreen Rose All I Am Walk My Own Road Animal Yes I Am We hope you enjoy listening as much as we did creating this.

‘All I Am’ written & performed by Scott & Maria WEBSITE: https://www.scottandmariamusic.com/ (Featuring Forbes Coleman on electric guitar & bass) Music Recorded, Produced & Mastered by Forbes Coleman at Audiobeach Studios https://www.instagram.com/audiobeachstudios/ Music Video Produced & Edited by Maria Payne Vlahogiannis at Creative Source Digital Services https://www.creativesourcedigitalservices.com/ Its theme is about honouring the things that we have lost, both external and within ourselves, but choosing to focus instead on the present moment and living for today. As life strips us of all that is not us the ultimate course is to authenticity, back to the original self, back to love from which life is created. It's also a timely reminder that love is the most important thing we have. 'All I Am' is the third single from the upcoming album ‘Wish Me Away’; which will be released in 2021. Look out for the more singles before the full album release in 2021.

This Land - Filmed live in the beautiful #Sussex #SouthDowns Firle. The song is inspired by our love of this land and it's protection. We spent time in the Highlands of Scotland and in the South Downs and this was the message we received from mother earth. We don't believe selling UK forests and fracking will help the land or the British people. We believe in the responsible investment in renewable energy and are grateful to those who died protecting this land for generations to come. Let their sacrifices not be in vain. Filmed by The Roadee mobile recording studio and performed by Murray Scott Ferguson, Maria Payne and Simon Hoy.... #greenpeace #nationaltrust #bbc #wildsussex #southdownsnationalpark #frackoff

“Mother Calls … hear her call…” the official full music video with cinematic landscape shots of beautiful Scotland. Inspired by the power of majestic Scottish ancient land, stones and the message received by Maria during a profound encounter with a standing stone circle in there, this song was born. Let us remember ourselves immersed in the land and learn to listen again to the wisdom of the earth. This music video was filmed and edited by the Scottish photographer & videographer Grant Hugh Jones Photography who lives and documents nature's beauty, power & grace on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland.

Gayatri - Scott & Maria beaming like the sun an explosive energy playing live at the Sacred Sound Sunshine Festival 21st November 2021. They were overjoyed to be joined by Marty Phillips on bass guitar and Somesh De Swardt on djembe. Rocking a new song called The Light; which includes the gayatri in it. As you can see it went down a treat in lifting people's spirits, as the dark winter season starts to creep in. The point of the festival was to give everyone a big happy energy health booster to see them through the winter months. Though it may be the darkest season, with a lit heart on fire you can stay warm and well and light the hearts of the people around you.
