  • Real Conversation with Darlene Koldenhoven

    Darlene Koldenhoven has produced thirteen albums on her label, TimeArt® Recordings, most recently Traveling the Blissful Highway with 12 songs to soothe the soul and heal the spirit. Her music is rich in luxurious sounds and melody, from improvised to structured, for attentive listening or as background for relaxing, reading, massage, yoga, dining, putting the kids to bed, healing a broken heart, releasing physical pain, or enjoying the simple pleasures in life.

    She founded the Music Matrix Foundation non-profit to foster music, music appreciation and the well-being of individuals of all ages through music, sound, education, technology, and kindness; while empowering them to carry on the mission of making the world a better place through all aspects of sound.

  • Real Conversation with Amy Bishop

    Amy began her music career around campfires, at block parties, and in church choir.

  • Real Conversation with Amy Steinberg

    "Singular" is the word that best describes Amy Steinberg.

    Uplifting, enlightening and hilarious with a voice that can burn the house down, Amy Steinberg is singer, songwriter and storyteller like none other. The main thrust of her work comes from marrying the sacred and profane, fusing the dreamlike nature of Spirit with the rooted realness of sexuality and humor.

    She plays the piano and guitar with her own swingy rhythmic bounce, injecting shades of jazz, rock, hip hop, and poetry, all with a theatrical flair. Deeply soulful, with her bombastic belt and she sings of self-love, open-mindedness, and the holiness of everything.
