Now the Day Is Over

The Innocence Mission began as four friends who met during a Catholic high school production of the musical Godspell. Although the quartet remain friends, the one consistent incarnation of the Innocence Mission revolves around the inspired musical marriage of guitarist Don Peris and his wife, vocalist/pianist Karen Peris. Gorgeous and dreamy, their new offering, "Now the Day Is Over," collects standards and traditional songs that singer Karen Peris has sung to her children as lullabies. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to organizations working to aid impoverished children throughout Africa.
