Tree Of Life
Tree of Life is the name of a pacific northest recording project, of Anne Ehrhardt and David Raymer were was an acoustic, christian music duo that played in Fircrest, Tacoma, and University Washington in 2001-02. They played contemporary Christian worship music for church services and youth group meetings. Also included here are two original songs David wrote, "Heal Me," and "We need your love."
These recordings were recorded by David in his private based studio, and we were amazed by the recording quality, and blending of the voices, flute and other instruments.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Anne and Dave met at the Fircrest Methodist Church and started doing music for the youth group as a side band of the church. They also played with the house band as well, but found it difficult working within the rigid musical structure.

Fircrest Methodist church, Tacoma youth group meetings, University Place Episcopalian church, and private events.
