""Don Arbor's 'Salam Pax (Peace) Is Jaw-Droppingly Pretty"

"Don Arbor's 'Salam Pax' (Peace) is jaw-droppingly pretty... The beauty emanates from the pristine musicianship here and Arbor's own voice, which is as plaintive yet hopeful as Jackson Browne's in his prime." - Overground Underground News and Reviews

Bio

Don Arbor's new release, "County D," was co-written with Barbara Higbie, Grammy-nominated pianist, violinist, composer, and alumnus of the Montreux band. Barbara penned the tune, Don wrote the words and sings the song. It's a lyrical, moving work about transitions, memories, and the constant struggle between the present and the past. Watch for the single, on the radio in the fall of 2014, and the music video coming soon!

Don's last single, "Another Sunny Day in Paradise," from the Man on a Mission CD, hit number 16 on the FMQB AC 40 charts last summer.

Don's song and video, "Salam Pax (Peace)," was honored as an Official Selection of the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival, and the Berkeley (CA) Film and Video Festival. The song and video were inspired by an Iraqi blogger whose words reached around the world during the invasion in 2003. The song has both an irresistible groove and a powerful message. Don's songs are written in a wide range of styles, and played by great musicians, including Barbara Higbie, and Stef Burns-- lead guitarist for Huey Lewis and the News.
