Beauty of Upper Peninsula inspires Esto's new album
Today's Morning Edition music is from the Minneapolis singer Esto with "Brockway Mountain Drive," a song from his brand new album "Houghton-Hancock Hum-Alongs."
Esto, whose real name is Blake Morgan, is also a member of the popular vocal ensemble Cantus.
The songs on this album were inspired by a summer Esto spent living in Michigan's Upper Pennisula. He said, "I want people to find beauty in the U.P. The area doesn't get enough credit."
Brockway Mountain Drive is a scenic route along the top of the peninsula with spectacular views of Lake Superior.
