Pam Asberry Bio
Described as “one of the finest pianists on the New Age music scene today” (BT Fasmer, New Age Music Reviews), Pam Asberry combines contemporary, new age and classical sounds to create music that is alternately melodic and graceful, dramatic and powerful, peaceful and hypnotic. Pam Asberry holds a Master of Music from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale and has over forty years of professional experience as a music educator, adjudicator, performer, recording artist, speaker, author, composer, and arranger. A BMI artist, she has released nine solo piano albums to date and was awarded Best New Artist 2018 and Best Holiday Album 2019 by Enlightened Piano Radio and Best Solo Piano Album 2021 by One World Music Radio.
Gina Lenee Bio
Eight albums into her career (her most recent, Revealed produced by legendary guitarist and founder of Windham Hill Records, Will Ackerman and Tom Eaton at Imaginary Road Studios), Gina's success hasn't not changed her humility one bit ; “I’m still humbled every time someone tells me they like my music. I’m still blown away that someone will buy my CD or pay to attend one of my concerts. It’s a big deal to me and I’m so appreciative.” Asked what else, besides music, brings her pleasure, Gina responds "I savor the simple things in life, like a cup of great coffee or watching the sky change color at sunset. I also love stand-up comedy and listening to the blues." However, Gina's music is undoubtedly her raison d'etre. Clearly, Gina Leneé is one of those special musicians who use their musical gifts to make the world a better place. Put more simply, she gets it. "I know just how fortunate I am to be able to focus on my music full time. I am also very involved with our community and I love when I can combine my music along with raising awareness and funds for organizations that deserve a voice. It's important for my music to extend beyond entertainment."
Cathy Oakes Bio
Cathy began piano lessons at the age of six, but quickly got bored. Her parents sold the piano when her mother found her lying on the piano stool trying to play with her toes! She found her love for music through marching band and high school choir and began to seriously study piano. She enrolled in the music program at West Virginia Wesleyan College, a small private college in the beautiful mountains of West Virginia. There she studied piano, voice, music theory and history and choral conducting. She holds a bachelor's degree in music with an applied major in piano. After two years of trying to decide whether to major in piano or voice, she finally chose piano. Her professor said that she didn’t really choose, she simply “decided to sing on the piano.” Her melodic style continues to sing through her compositions. Cathy has spent over 20 years in music ministry and has taught piano and voice for over 30 years. She composes and records her original music and has released six albums to date. She has found her music voice and continues to compose and to be inspired by the beautiful sounds of nature, classical music and the music of many of her fellow piano artists.
