These 16 original pieces emerged and grew over a period of 30 years. Although they were written literally all over the world (eg. Alaska, Belize, Amsterdam, England, Wyoming, etc.) and were inspired and influenced by diverse cultures and experiences, the rich acoustic guitar tones provide a common thread tying it all together. Tupe’s guitar can speak many languages through tempo. melody and style.
This music is simply arranged so the warmth, depth and subtlety of the acoustic guitar is not lost. There are several other “wooden voices” joining in that add variety and interest including mandolin, harmonica, 12-string guitar, acoustic bass guitar, “tele” guitar, banjo, didgeridoo, twin fiddles, classic violin and various “wooden” percussion textures. Most of the instruments were played by Tupe . . . Janey adds dulcimer, hammered dulcimer, percussion, and subtle background vocal textures.
This diverse collection of pleasing pieces featuring the acoustic guitar and the other mellow wooden instrumentation is both relaxing and rejuvenating . . . a satisfying pick-me-up that simply makes you feel good. Naturally.

Tupe goes to great lengths to get that big guitar sound.
(This is a real 8' guitar at a luthier's shop in Paracho, Mexico.)
Listener Comments
What a delight to have Tupelo’s music playing in our clinic; somehow he’s created tunes that embody the perfect balance of healing serenity and gentle attentiveness in his music, that we strive for in our work. We all manage to breathe more deeply when his CDs are playing. - Amber Leigh Wolf, PhD, Director, Phoenix Healing Center, Longmont, CO

You do fantastic work! All the stringed instruments are very helpful when I am creating a painting. It is, in effect mood music, both relaxing and inspiring. - Wilbur Lease, Gillette, WY

Some films are reviewed as “feel good” movies. Tupe’s “Wooden Voices” CD is a well-executed and uplifting collection that I definitely experience as “feel-good” music. Usually, I listen to a CD a number of times before it starts to grow on me, but I was hooked on this one instantly. I give it two thumbs up! - Arlys Condos - Sheridan, WY

“Wooden Voices” is just that - intimate voices that speak to the heart and soul. It is moving, sometimes bringing goosebumps and sometimes a smile. Listening to it brings instant relaxation and reflection. Each song emotionally takes me to a special moment and keeps me there in that quiet, peaceful state long after the music is over.-Ann Tolstedt
