Now based out of Evangelical Community Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, psalterbook ( meaning "Book of Psalms") was formed in 1999 when a band of musicians who attended White Oak Presbyterian Church wanted to form a small ensemble of highly-skilled players whose sole purpose was to glorify God.  But in doing so, they realized they wanted to create "...a group with a difference, not just a Christian-song cover band". Since their beginnings, psalterbook has continued to expand it's roster which includes Dave Matre (vocals), Jeff Petach (guitar, mandolin), Steve Aldredge (keyboards), and Lori McDonough (flute), Matt Frazer (percussion), Sarah Crannell (vocals), Milan Dukic (violin), Christy Gould (harp), Isaac Gould (percussion, dulcimer), and Leah Risma (vocals).  On age to age, psalterbook is grateful to have been joined by world-class guest musicians Deborah Netanel (cello) and Miriam Kramer (violin).

psalterbook's sound is an engaging blend of contemporary, folk, bluegrass, celtic, and classical styles.  This CD, psalterbook's debut recording, includes everything from "bluegrass-ified" 16th century chant, to appalachian lullabies; from richly-textured lyricism, to hair-raising virtuoso instrumentals.  But most important of all, this collection was meant to express psalterbook's unique musical vision: no matter what century it's from or what style it incorporates,  music that praises the triune God is valuable...from age to age.
