THIRD LIFE STUDIO PIANO CONCERT - November 7, 2014
Gary Girouard, Doug Hammer & Joe Yamada Three Pianists: Live in Concert! Friday, November 7, 2014, 7pm
Gary Girouard:
Winner of Multiple “Album of the Year” awards for the contemporary solo piano genre, Gary Girouard has built a career around “The Naked Piano”. This original series composed, performed and produced by Girouard includes five full-length albums, sheet music and an assortment of compilation songbooks. Described as “hauntingly beautiful”, “deeply moving” and “incredibly powerful", the Naked Piano series evolved from Girouard’s strong passion for piano. Girouard comments: ”People lead increasingly stressful lives. The Naked Piano is a simple response - highlighting a beautiful instrument in its most pure and natural form. The Piano is a powerful source to help myself and others lead a more healthy life.” You can find Naked Piano music on radio, TV and film - including iTunes, Pandora, Spotify, Google Play, Live365, Amazon, Whisperings Radio and CDBaby.
Doug Hammer:

Doug’s style is diverse, from contemplative and spacious to animated and dynamic. He has released six solo piano albums and a film score.

Doug recently released Heart, an emotional tour de force. He is a scholarship graduate of Berklee College of Music. Doug’s music can be heard on Pandora, Spotify, Music Choice and Whisperings Solo Piano Radio. Please visit doughammer.net for more information.
