With 3 Grammy nominations, 20 Billboard New Age Chart hits, over one million albums sold, and millions of fans worldwide, David Arkenstone has established himself as one of the best contemporary instrumental musicians of our time. Known for his Celtic inspired jazzy world beat New Age fusion, he continues to create distinctive tracks that set him apart from other composers.
This award-winning multi-instrumentalist has captivated audiences since he broke onto the music scene in 1987 with his debut album, Valley In The Clouds, described by one reviewer as "one of the most exquisite electronic new age recordings ever produced." Arkenstone has earned two #1 albums - "Citizen of Time" (1990) and "In the Wake of the Wind" (1991). His much celebrated "Celtic Book of Days" (1998) remains one of his most popular recordings ever. Released in 2000, "Caravan of Light" was honored as Best Album of the Year by New Age Voice, and "Sketches From an American Journey" made Soundscan's list of top ten New Age Albums in 2002.
Arkenstone has made over 30 recordings, headlined several tours, shared the bill with Michael Crawford which included New York's Radio City Music Hall and the Hollywood Bowl, scored dozens of films and documentaries, and composed music for the Olympics that is used to this day.
In 2010, he will release new recordings as well as some of Arkenstone's previously released material such as the critically acclaimed Myths and Legends, "Sketches From An American Journey", "Echoes of Light And Shadow", "Spirit of the Drum", "Nights of Passion", and "World Café". Fans can also look forward to a new Christmas album release and the live Winter Solstice Concert DVD later this year.
