The Village by The Family Crest
The Village was conceived in Europe and recorded over two years in Northern California with the help of nearly 100 musicians working under the guise of The Family Crest. By 2010, the recording project evolved into a six-piece core band with over 250 'extended family members' who participate in recordings, live shows, and other media and art projects.
