ACCOMPLISHED VIOLINIST DAVID KLINKENBERG RELEASES LEGACY…HYMNS OF OUR HERITAGE; EXCLUSIVE TO FAMILY CHRISTIAN STORES

INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM FEATURES CHERISHED HYMNS INFUZED WITH AN ECLECTIC ASSORTMENT OF INFLUENCES INCLUDING GOSPEL, BLUEGRASS, JAZZ, POP AND OLD WORLD COUNTRY

(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) September 25, 2007 – Accomplished violinist David Klinkenberg, best known for his touring and performing with highly regarded artist, Jim Brickman, Mark Schultz and as an artist in his own right, delivers his unique style of worship with the release of his latest project, Legacy…Hymns of Our Heritage, exclusive to Family Christian Stores.  On this record,  which was made available on September 18, Klinkenberg delivers an array of classic hymns tinged with gospel, bluegrass, jazz, pop and old world; played in unique worship only Klinkenberg’s “fiddle” can convey. 

From the ethereal strains of “Holy, Holy, Holy,” to the Celtic-influenced cadence of “Be Thou My Vision,” Klinkenberg takes the familiar melodies on a journey not heard before.  On the project, Klinkenberg even offers up a bluegrassy version of “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” and easily transitions to a moving rendition of the world’s most famous hymn, “Amazing Grace.” David Klinkenberg’s artistry continuously points you past the performer and toward the Creator.

Klinkenberg has been developing his artistry as a violin player since the age of four.  As his talent developed, he began playing churches and local concert halls leading to his current relationship with Brickman and achieving success with his tours of solo performances.  But for Klinkenberg, the feeling he gets playing his “fiddle” is nothing short of a powerful worship experience, rather than a mere performance. 

“My first memories are of playing the violin,” Klinkenberg notes. “And I started playing the violin in church at a very early age, so the concept of worshipping with the violin was ingrained in me as a child. Now it is hard for me to worship without the violin. It was just such an integral part of my spiritual development.”

Legacy…Hymns of Our Heritage follows Klinkenberg’s well received Christmas CD, The Carol of Emmanuel, which released last year as his debut Family Christian Stores exclusive.  The project has sold in excess of 150,000 units to date and will be re-released this season as well.  For more information, visit www.davidklinkenberg.com.
