In service to the sacred sound, Lori Reid believes music is to be felt rather than heard. What began as a recording debut with 2003’s RADIO, developed into a 20 year, 3 album recording residency as one-third founding member of the fates. Now into a second album recording relationship beginning with Temperance Hotel (2012) with Colin Linden, Reid has most recently released Gold, the first single from the forthcoming The Elements (2025).
