Pianist, composer, and recording artist Steven C Anderson (Steven C) has sold more than 2 million copies of his own recordings, with over 70 million streams per year across all digital platforms. Today, Steven C. & The New Piano Collective shares favorite and timeless hymns with What A Friend We Have: 22 Hymns Of Faith, available now on all platforms. The new hymns collection includes popular gems, such as “Blessed Assurance”, “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”, “His Eye Is On The Sparrow”, “It Is Well”, “Morning Has Broken”, “Wade In The Water” and sixteen more.
“I was inspired to record this collection of old hymns because I grew up listening and singing them in church,” shares Steven. “I find these melodies to be timeless and inspiring. The really fun process with this collection was trying to find a new interpretation without losing the essence of the original Hymn. It's amazing that these Hymns are found in many Hymnals of different faiths. This collection features only solo piano, yet on some of the more upbeat renditions, you can almost hear a full Gospel group. Yes, clap your hands! In a world where not much lasts...these Hymns have been and will be around a long, long time.”

Steven C’s monumental reimagining of the soundtrack of his youth culminated with the release of his latest pop/rock album collection, 'Classic Rock Piano'. Available now, 'Classic Rock Piano: Volume 1 - California' and ‘Classic Rock Piano: Volume 2 - Stairway’ are the first two of four volumes that span four decades! Steven C brings new life to 100 beautifully reimagined classic rock songs, all featuring his 9-foot Bosendorfer piano. The collaboration process among all the artists involved is evident throughout, as treatments include solo piano and supporting rhythm instruments in the mix. His solo piano take of “Smoke On The Water,” with that classic guitar riff in Perfect 4th's ringing out, will take everyone back to their first hearing in 1972. ‘Classic Rock Piano’ is available to download and stream on all digital platforms!
"I never thought I would re-experience that mesmerizing era through my piano playing!" shares Steven C.
