Beatitude Bridge is the new album by The Candlelight Guitarist. It's an all-guitar instrumental & existential journey into matters of the heart and soul. Music for inspiration, and lifting up others who need some comfort and inspiration. Music for making friends, looking at the wonder of nature, finding comfort in the midst of sorrow, and towards finding what your heart seeks. The album was inspired during guitarist Brad Powell's solo 221-mile thru-hike of the John Muir Trail and Mt. Whitney.
