SEVEN SOURCES

NEW MUSIC RELEASED MAY 2025

SEVEN SOURCES is the brain-child of Joel Pirard. I have been in quite a few bands,. I learned to write songs and compositions in ORION, ALASKA, TOMBSTONE, THE ALIENZ, AVALON USA, THE JDA PROJECT, each with their own styles and nuances. I put some of these out with them and a lot more out under an umbrella I call SEVEN SOURCES, which basically an imprint for my personal works with occasional guests.
