New Age Piano Reviews, by Enlightened Piano Radio
If you're familiar with pianist Donovan Johnson, you may be familiar with his online radio station "Enlightened Piano Radio." And if you are a piano artist yourself, there is exciting news for you to consider! Enlightened Piano Radio is now conducting reviews for Contemporary/New Age recordings, free of charge.
Founder Donovan Johnson explains: "I just love modern piano music. And there is so much of it being written and recorded today that it's impossible to keep up with it all. One way for me to stay on top of things is to review the work of others! And I'm happy to do it. In addition, I'm always looking for new Enlightened Piano artists to add to the radio station."
"Enlightened Piano Radio" has been around for only a year now. It's a growing radio station, and the music that Donovan selects is hand picked. In fact, he works with most of the "Enlightened Piano" artists personally. "I believe in working with people, to be of service to them and to the audience that they're trying to reach. I know very well how hard it is to try to do everything on your own. The composing, practicing, marketing, recording and producing, website maintenance, the list goes on. That's why I'm here to help in any way I can. That's why Enlightened Piano Radio exists at all. And if I can find one more way to encourage and support the writers and composers of this great genre of music, I'll do it."
"Enlightened Piano" plays music by a few of the well known artists such as George Winston, and Yanni, but more of the music on it's airwaves comes from lesser known, nationally recognized artists. David Nevue, Doug Hammer and Joseph Akins to name a few. The station genre is more or less New Age, but branches out into the Contemporary and Neo-Classical categories as well. Each month the radio station chooses an "artist of the month," and every year an "Enlightened Piano" concert is held in Omaha Nebraska, featuring Donovan and one of the station artists.
Donovan is excited about the new direction the station will be taking as the music review process unfolds. "I see the album review portion of the Enlightened Radio project as just one more way for me to immerse myself in the music that I love, give someone else an outlet to be heard, and offer something meaningful to the public. It's a privilege for me to be able to do what I do, and this is one more way for me to give back."
The first review has been posted on the Enlightened Piano Radio website. You can view it at: http://www.enlightenedpiano.com/Enlightened-Piano-Radio-CD-Reviews.html
If you're interested in a review, Donovan can be reached at: donovanspiano@cox.net. He asks that you let him know a bit about yourself, your style, and anything else relevant. Once the album is reviewed (could take up to 4 weeks), the review will be posted on the Enlightened Piano website, along with Amazon.com and CDBaby.
