New Age Music World

Defining our World of New Age Music

Zone Music Reporter Awards for 2009

February 5th, 2010 |

New Age Music is already an exciting genre to be involved with for many reasons and now the excitement is going to the next level since Zone Music Reporter ( ZMR ) has taken the first step in announcing their Annual Music Award Qualifiers.

Every musician in our genre has produced some outstanding music this year, and we have enjoyed writing reviews for some of the current Award Qualifiers at NewAgeMusic.nu & NewAgeMusicWorld.Com this past year, so we too feel the excitement of hearing the final outcome of this years ZMR awards decision.

B.T. Fasmer and I know making a final determination is a challenge, and there is never an easy way to go about the task of deciding who will receive the highest recognition, having recently made our Top New Age Album Award of 2009 at NewAgeMusic.nu shown here.

There is no denying that every musician has made a significant contribution to our beloved genre and in our minds, has already become a winner simply by qualifying. We wish everyone the very best in ZMR’s annual awards, and again thank every artist for producing music everyone can be proud to call New Age.

Below is our select listing of 20 qualifiers we have been writing about this past year by our reviews or interviews, and is a nice sample of the many outstanding musicians now under consideration. On a personal note, I deeply respect everyone I have met and have enjoyed getting to know some artists even more by our recent interview together, and only wish I had time to request an interview with everyone. With that said, you may click on the links to visit the artist’s official website, and then our dedicated pages to 20 of the qualifying artists and my review of their current album or interview.

ZMR will announce the Category Nominees on February 14, 2010 & the Award Winners on March 14, 2010. You can see the complete listing of the categories & 2009 qualifiers at zonemusicreporter.com when you click here.

Acoustic Ocean in Reflections on Still Water

Acoustic Ocean has just released a fine new follow up to their debut release Light Returning and like many of the relaxing destinations of Hawaii where the musicians reside and the song titles suggest, becomes a restful retreat into music that tells of the natural beauty one would experience [...]
Bird of Paradise

It’s pretty easy to get sidetracked from doing what we really want to do everyday, and a 25 year departure from songwriting was longer than what this musician had in mind, but his migration back to composing have many people moving to new heights. Bill Wren is often referred [...]
Steve Orchard Excels on Raindancer

The United Kingdom based MG Music label has much to be proud of these days. The 25 year anniversary for Medwyn Goodall and Clifford White alone is reason to celebrate, yet MG label artists Steve Orchard and Paul Sills also have excellent releases planned this year. You will find [...]
Lizary Rodriguez Rios / Harp Voyage

Classical Orchestral Harps can be thought of as divine or celestial instruments, having an origin dating to around 2500 BC, often reminding one of angels and religious cherubs poised in a statue. Lizary Rodriguez Rios is the harpist I had in mind while writing this first sentence taken from [...]
Johannes Linstead and the Mistico Festival

Its one occasion when musicians gather at the local level to produce music, and another when top performing artists from around the globe unite in a music festival that reaches the attention of worldwide audiences and achieves a high level of acclaim. Johannes Linstead is an Award Winning Canadian [...]
