Shannon Janssen Offers Impressive Body of Piano Solo Work
Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cedar Rapids, Iowa--January 30, 2006--Shannon Janssen
lives to play the piano and every album she releases is another
testament to her dedication to the craft of a true musical
artisan. She currently has three instrumental recordings
available covering a multitude of genres. Heart Journey
(2001) and Piano Paintings (2002) engages listeners
with a tremendous range of styles and moods including jazz, new
age, and classical. The most recent release, The Keys of
Christmas (2005), came just in time for the holidays and
continues to focus on Shannon's continuing development as one of
the best independent solo artist in the U.S.
Born and raised in Iowa, Shannon Janssen began playing a small
electric organ when she was very young. When she took lessons,
her instructor prohibited her from playing anything but
classical. Shannon continued lessons through high school then
studied piano with a passionate pursuit that led her to a
longstanding job as a church pianist for 20 years as well as
teaching private lessons for twelve years. So many people
enjoyed the music Shannon created that they wanted a keepsake of
her work; hence, this inspired the work on Heart Journey and
subsequent albums.
Shannon's own take on her music is-"I like music that is
touching and soul stirring, which makes you stop to ponder,
taking you to another place. This kind of music can be in many
categories. But instrumental music without words, allows the
listener to use their imagination to tell the story or to paint
the picture within the song. The only clue is the title...you
decide how the story goes and ends. It's like reading a book
verses watching a movie. Your imagination paints the scene and
characters, thus allowing the music to take you on a journey. It
has always been my desire and dream to create music such as
this."
If you have not discovered this wonderful artist by now there
are three great recordings to experience. This music can fit any
mood or change it if you are in one. Shannon Janssen and her
piano recordings take you to a musical nirvana only found in the
heavens above.
