Musical Dreams - Album and Sheet Music Book by Tom and Mary Kay Aufrance
About This Album & Companion Music Book
Musical Dreams is one of our most personal collections of original folk music. These songs grew out of years of performing together as a husband-and-wife duo, blending Celtic and American folk influences with acoustic guitar, accordion, mandolin, and vocal harmonies. Each song tells a story - sometimes tender, sometimes joyful - always rooted in the shared experiences that inspire our music. You can listen to the full album here on SoundCloud, or on your favorite streaming service. Plus, if you'd like to sing or play along, the complete sheet music is available in our Musical Dreams music book on Amazon.

The tracks on the album are unified by a central creative idea: every piece was inspired by lucid dreams.
