Danny Wright 25th Anniversary Tour    October 05, 2012



Beyond Black & White
25th Anniversary Tour 2012-2013

Beyond Black & White: Danny Wright Celebrates 25 Years of Piano
Concert Announcement

Danny Wright, the internationally-renowned pianist also known as the Healer of Hearts, celebrates the 25th Anniversary of his career as a best-selling recording artist with a series of concerts throughout the U.S., titled Beyond Black & White: Danny Wright Celebrates 25 Years of Piano. Performances will include fan favorites from his broad repertoire of original works, classics, and music from Broadway & Film. Danny is one of few pianists who have mastered a diverse range of styles and combined them with heartwarming grace. It will be an unforgettable night of music and entertainment from one of the nation’s greatest piano talents, coming to Cape May Convention Hall on Friday, October 5 at 8 p.m.

In 2012, Danny released a new compilation to tie in with the tour, titled Black & White: The Classics. It contains hand-picked favorites from the popular Black & White Series, which will be available for purchase and signing at the upcoming concerts. Danny is re-mastering and re-releasing the entire Moulon D’Or catalog during the Anniversary, through his own WH Sound Studio, based in Las Vegas, NV.

The day when four-year-old Danny reached for the piano keys, he began a lifelong love affair with the piano, and a calling to share his heartfelt gift with others. Since then, he’s sold over six million records, and played many of the finest venues in the U.S. and abroad. Fourteen of his 36 recordings remain steady on Amazon’s Top 100 Bestsellers in the Adult Contemporary category, and he was thrice named by Billboard Magazine as a Top 10 artist in New Age.
