ABOUT THE ARTIST<BR> For more than a decade, Steinway Artist Kevin Kern has been synonymous with beautiful melodic music. Beginning with his phenomenally successful debut CD, <i>In the Enchanted Garden</i>, Kevin has developed his own unique musical voice where melodies exude lyricism, simplicity, and a directness that touches the heart of the listener. <BR> Though legally blind since birth, his exceptional talent soon became clear. The influence of lifelong friend and mentor, jazz great George Shearing, coupled with a strong classical education helped Kevin to develop an early love of improvisation and an appreciation for the beautiful sound a piano could produce. <BR> Having several Billboard® charting releases, along with numerous international film and TV credits (<i>Oprah, David Letterman, PBS, Mitsubishi</i>), Kevin has acquired a worldwide following. His concert tours have taken him to Korea, Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan as well as the United States. <BR> My whole life, thus far, has been a celebration of that unique bond I have felt with my favorite musical instrument and 'best friend.'  The melodies I have written are a testament to that friendship. <BR> ABOUT CHRISTMAS <BR> With <i>Christmas</i>, Steinway Artist Kevin brings his signature style to sixteen timeless holiday favorites. The selections range from the simplicity of <i>What Child is This</i> to the hauntingly beautiful <i>Lo, How a Rose E er Blooming</i>. He harkens back to his earliest days, closing the collection with <i>Silent Night</i>, the very first song he learned to play at the tender age of eighteen months. <BR> <i>Christmas</i> is a solo piano collection recorded on an inspiring Steinway Grand piano and is sure to become a holiday favorite.
