THE MUSIC

This album also contains a series of Live HD performance videos where listeners can immerse themselves in the album through visuals. Overall, MVI’s music has been cherished and enjoyed by not only world class musicians but general music lovers alike making “In The Rain Shadow” another memorable project that is worth listing to.
