Paul Cardall, experimental pianist and composer. His latest release, Faithful, combines new age piano and down tempo rhythms.Band/artist history
Paul cardall (www.paulcardall.com) started playing the piano by ear as a teenager as he sought sollace after the loss of friend. after six years he recorded his first cd, sign of affection. In 1995 author Richard Paul Evans commissioned cardall to record a cd inspired by his #1 NY Times best-selling book, "The Christmas Box." Cardall later created independent label Stone Angel Music (www.stoneangelmusic.com) to distribute his recordings. With more than 50,000 cds sold cardall partnered with Narada, a divsion of Virgin America. They expanded cardall's distribution world-wide. "The Christmas Box" hit Billboard new age top 25 charts in 1999. After recording "the looking glass" for Narada, he independantly released "miracles" in 2001 which spent several weeks on the top 25 new age voice charts. In 2003 on his latest release Faithful, cardall expanded his style merging new age piano and down tempo. Windandwire.com voted Faithful the #2 contemporary instrumental album of 2003.Have you performed in front of an audience?yes. all over. but i like getting out of salt lake and playing in some of my other favorite cities like sacramento, scottsdale, st. louis, miami beach, winston salem, and others.

Hi Paul,
Lucas Kirby here. I'm sure you dont remember me but we bumped into eachother a few years ago at Media Play. you really inspired me to get out there and do my thing. I just wanted to let you know that. Please feel free to take a listen to my material and give me whatever advice or comments you can. I do love your music. i still listen to it all the time. By the way. my leather jacket you accidently dropped in the sink at Media Play is still around. ha ha! I'm sure you think i'm a nut cause you probably dont remember a thing about it. ha ha.. Hope to talk to you soon.
Regards
Lucas Kirby
