An advance review of the new self-titled album "Rockwood Ferry", April 2013:

" In this remarkable new musical collaboration, ROCKWOOD lives up to their name and creates a work of strong and potent natural beauty.  Fluid grace, organic swelling ocean waves of sound, gentle harmonies and thoughtful words.  Their collective effort has created something that makes me feel like I'm in a redwood cathedral, or being baptised by a rushing mountain stream.  Something to be appreciated -- and enjoyed."

Tracey Craig of Rootabaga Boogie WITH FM 90.1 Ithaca and WRUR FM 88.5 Rochester

Music from the ground, for the heart - Rockwood Ferry features the original music of songwriter Tenzin Chopak (vocals, acoustic guitar, piano) expressed through an ensemble of some of the finest musicians from Ithaca, New York:

Banjo legend Richie Stearns (The Horse Flies, Natalie Merchant, Evil City String Band, TiTi Chickapea, New York Banjo Summit with Bela Fleck)

Exquisite American folk fiddler/singer Rosie Newton (Pearly Snaps, Evil City String Band, Ferintosh, The Mammals)

Gypsy jazz violin virtuoso Eric Aceto (Djug Django, Aceto-Leiberman Quartet, TiTi Chickapea, Mectapus)

Classically trained cross-over double bass phenomenon Ethan Jodziewicz (Retrospectacles, Evil City String Band, Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand Band)

Rockwood Ferry speaks with a haunting language of their own yet understood by all, descended from roots, jazz, and progressive folk to communicate the depths and heights of human emotion with tenderness and ferocity.  Chopak's lyrics are a fluid collage of waking dreams painted in the colors of his East Tennessee upbringing and beyond.  The result: passionate and beautiful music let loose with blazing energy.
