Emma Laurence

Emma's first original song, "Reflections," was arranged for choir and sung at her high school graduation ceremony held at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY. She has a great photo of playing guitar and singing on the quad at St. Lawrence University where she'd earned her teaching degree and, years later, a similar photo at a concert in Union Square Park, NYC.
As an actor, Emma trained with director Mike Nichols, improv great Paul Sills, and Gene Hackman at the New Actors Workshop. She was a founding member of New Jersey Rep, where she performed with the late Kim Hunter. Emma continues to balance her love for music, theater, teaching and performing. She has taught theater at the Horace Mann School in the Bronx and given workshops on performing throughout the U.S. She recently appeared as Claire in Proof by David Auburn at The Elmwood Playhouse in Nyack, NY.
"Making this CD was a demanding and happy adventure. We had to reach new levels of harmony with each other before the right blend could manifest in our music. We believe in the healing power of music for both the musician and listener. To a large extent, we created this music to uplift the individual who may be going through a hard time personally."








Kevin McKay

After Kevin drove his family crazy by imitating nearly every sound he heard through his entire childhood, his parents were thrilled when he finally left for college. The now Dr. Kevin McKay, a chiropractic internist, earned his doctorate in chiropractic medicine in 1979 and has since been practicing functional medicine in Stuart, Florida. Dr. McKay's entertaining teaching style has helped thousands improve their health, and has made him a sought after speaker throughout the UK, Israel, Canada, and the U.S. Dr. McKay teaches courses in healthy living and thinking to lay audiences, college students, as well as natural medicine to health professionals. He has never lost his passion for vocal sound effects, of which several musical instruments and animal sounds can be heard on Keystone's CD, NO LIMITATION.
"The creation of our new CD, was very aligned with my work in the healing arena. The songs include many key principles crucial to the healing journey - the same ones I teach to my patients and audiences. Principles include breaking through limitations we've made for ourselves that limit what's possible in healing; rising above the temptation to blame our circumstances on things outside ourselves, thus entering into the liberated state that claiming self-responsibility creates; learning to trust our heart and inner guidance to find our way; and finally to the later stages of the journey where co-workership in service is what matters most."
