Piano artist Kent Horner fuses Billy Joel pop, Jazzy Sting like
tunes and Marc Cohn style ballads into a multihued tapestry of
morphing sound.
Influenced across the board by the likes of Zepplin, Chicago,
Midnight Oil and piano master Elton John. The power and depth of
Kent's voice and lyrics reflects his connection to the sea and
his Southern California roots.
SECRETS IN THE SAND, his first recently released CD is a collage
of different styles and moods. From the tropical and temperate
waters of the samba like "Hold On" to being swept up in the
dreamlike state of "Desert Sand" where passionate romance rules
the night. This artist takes his emotional honesty to the edge
where any distance between the audience and performer becomes
blurred by the magic of the moment.
Whether performing solo or with his band, the listener should be
ready for an avalanche of unusual emotional intensity and fine
songwriting, backed up by a fresh style and approach to the piano
not seen for some time.
Look for Kent Horner, performing his collection of music in some
of North County San Diego favorite venues.
