An Evening of Romance with Jim Brickman May 6, 2005

Acclaimed romantic piano artist Jim Brickman will play Carnegie Hall (154 West 57th Street) for ONE NIGHT ONLY on Friday, May 6th at 8:00 PM. This landmark stop on the Evening of Romance Tour will feature vocalist Anne Cochran and electric violinist Tracy Silverman. Brickman, renowned for his musicianship and compositions inspired by the power of love, will perform songs from his new CD Grace, as well as past hits like ?Valentine,? ?The Gift,? ?Love of My Life? and ?Simple Things.?

This concert tour is a celebratory kick-off for Jim Brickman?s most exciting and creative year to date, which includes the release of two new albums: on April 19th, the collection of songs of faith and inspiration titled Grace and, later in the year, his first musical foray into the rich Disney repertoire, Imagination: Jim Brickman Plays the Music of Disney. Brickman?s popular new book, Love Notes: 101 Lessons in Love, is a touchstone for his concerts, in which the Grammy-nominated recording artist weaves a tapestry of story and song, accompanied by his piano and a talented ensemble of gifted performers. Guest performer Anne Cochran is a seasoned chanteuse who has performed alongside Brickman since their high school years. Tracy Silverman is a jazz violin virtuoso who released his own solo album on Windham Hill.

With a career that spans ten albums, four of which have been certified gold, one platinum, a string of sold out concerts and sales in excess of ten million units worldwide, the Cleveland, Ohio native has garnered an intensely loyal following for whom his distinctive piano playing is the quintessential expression the romantic spirit. It?s no wonder he has garnered a Grammy nomination, a pair SESAC Songwriter of the Year awards, a Canadian Country Music Award and a wide television audience for his acclaimed PBS specials and regular appearances on the Today Show. It is a reputation cemented by best selling concert DVD?s, his own weekly syndicated radio show, ?Your Weekend with Jim Brickman,? and his widely read book of insightful essays, Simple Things.
