But it is a feeling that is implied or sensed in what the music evokes within you, rather than anything direct or overt. I loved the lightness and luminosity of a song called “The Sound of Sunshine,” which David refers to as “a celebration of those “wide awake moments” when you feel truly alive, almost as if you were somehow standing a little closer to heaven.” Its not surprising that there is an air of spirituality that comes through in David’s music, being the person of deep and abiding faith that he is. But the music has numerous highlights and left me with many impressions and feelings, which I’ll be glad to share. With 17 songs on the CD, totaling over an hour in length, there is a bit too much of that ground to cover each track in detail. David is quick to point out that this is one of his most diverse albums ever and that a lot of different musical ground is covered. This was an excellent choice for an opening track. I liked the way David’s left hand anchored the song with a repeating pattern while the right hand deftly explored the melodic terrain. It’s the perfect music for the open road…” There is a wonderful sense of lightheartedness and openness that drew me right in from the start. Now, in 2013, David has recently released his Open Sky album, which he sees as one of his most diverse yet, including thirteen original compositions plus arrangements of “Scarborough Fair,” “The Water is Wide,” “For the Beauty of the Earth” and “Morning Has Broken.” The first song on the album is the title track, which David sees as “a musical expression of freedom, exploration, and the exhilaration that comes from seeing and experiencing new things. And speaking of radio, in 2003, David launched Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio, a free 24-hour internet radio program that is enjoyed by nearly a million listeners a month. No less than The Wall Street Journal, in July of 2006, named David a “media mogul” including him on a list of producers “being catapulted into a position of enormous influence.” Since 1991, David has released 14 albums including his earlier release, Overcome, which was named the “Best Instrumental Piano Album of 2005” by the prestigious Lifestyle Music Awards, and his 2008 recording, Adoration, that reached the number 1 spot on the Zone Music Reporter charts for radio airplay. I also wrote another article about his fantastic resource book: How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet, which has been one of the most viewed pages on my website since then. That article contains information about his background, influences, and more so I’ll refer readers there to read about that. I’ve known of his music for years and have had the pleasure of writing about A Delicate Joy, which was the release before Open Sky. For David Nevue, however, that accolade is not without merit. Nevue also founded The Music Biz Academy, an educational website for independent musicians, and is the author of the book, How to Promote Your Music Successfully on the Internet.For a pianist, having your music compared to the likes of George Winston, David Lanz, or Jim Brickman, can be a lot to live up to. 273 artists are featured on the broadcast, including Joe Yamada, David Lanz, David Nevue, Josh Winiberg, Peter Kater, Michael Dulin, Wayne Gratz, Isadar, Louis Landon, Robin Spielberg and Suzanne Ciani. Whisperings radio is supported by paid subscriptions from listeners who prefer commercial-free broadcasts. Most listeners now tune in via the Whisperings web site, iTunes radio or Windows Media Tuner. Whisperings started out as part of the family of independent online radio stations, but eventually grew beyond just. Nevue began promoting his music online in 1995, and by 2001, he was able to make music his full-time career. Believing that the days of the traditional music industry were numbered, he decided to bypass the process of sending demos to record labels, and to use the web to promote his music on his own. Nevue established the "Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio" internet radio station in August 2003 as a vehicle for promoting his own particular brand of piano music. He is the founder of online radio station "Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio". David Nevue (born 1965) is an American solo piano composer and a pianist.
