Streaming live from Orcas Center on Thursday evening: Rafe Pearlman

— from Bethany Marie for Orcas Center —

In a beautiful twist of fate, we find ourselves in the company of Rafe Pearlman who is visiting Orcas this week, and has offered to be a part of Orcas Center’s streaming concerts, co-produced with Burl Audio.
With over twenty years of experience as a professional singer, Rafe Pearlman was launched into the greater public eye in 2012 with an appearance on AGT, America’s Got Talent with William Close and the Earth Harp.

Rafe is the lead singer with William Close and the Earth Harp Collective, touring with the world’s largest stringed instrument. Rafe was recently featured at the 2017 festival of film composers, “MOSMA”, in Malaga Spain, where he performed with a full orchestra for one of Hollywood’s top soundtrack composers, Tyler Bates. Rafe’s voice is featured on many excellent soundtracks including films on Netflix & Direct-TV, as well as an NBC series, big titles include: Kingdom, The Punisher, and Siberia… and other soundtracks including Sony’s top video games: Gods of War : Ascension and Call of Duty : Modern Warfare.

Rafe is a strong, soulful, sexy and spiritual singer and composer who uses organic and electronic elements to move his audience into transcendent experiences. With his high baritone voice, Rafe synthesizes diverse vocal influences ranging from American soul music, with its funky secular testifying, to Far Eastern devotional music. As a lyricist and composer, Rafe’s current projects explore themes of love, freedom, beauty, sexuality, transcendence, transformation, environmentalist and social justice.

Watch his performance below, and join us Thursday night to see him live on the Orcas Center stage!
