Voyager

Voyager (2018) is Thomas Cassell’s first full-length album, following his debut Mellifluous EP (2016).

Comprised of 11 instrumental tunes, Voyager is a journey through the heart of New Acoustic music. With compositions ranging from bluegrass to Latin, or jazz to Irish, Voyager integrates these sounds into one through the hands of a 5-piece bluegrass ensemble.
