Artist Guide » New Age » New Age » STEPHEN HEHN: Every Distant Memory
Stephen Hehn is a pianist based in New England. Classically trained from the age of five, he developed an appreciation for the great composers - Mozart, Beethoven, and Chopin - while studying under the supervision of his grandmother, Constance B. Hehn, an accomplished classical pianist who passed away in March 2004 at the age of 76.

Upon graduating from high school, Hehn became acquainted with the reflective, introspective musical stylings of David Lanz, Jim Brickman, and David Benoit. After a year of traveling and working in almost every imaginable job sector, Hehn began his studies at the Berklee College of Music - where he developed an affinity for the piano jazz legends, such as Bill Evans and Dave Brubeck. Since that time, he has performed at shopping precincts, minor league hockey games, weddings, and political fund-raisers.

From 2003-2004, Hehn spent the academic year working as a music-therapist-in-training with at-risk adolescents in a residential treatment facility. Currently on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings, he can often be found playing a wide variety of solo piano arrangements in Sturbridge, Massachusetts and downtown Providence, Rhode Island. A typical set list will include the music of Nirvana, Rogers and Hart, Billy Joel, and Tori Amos, among countless others.

Now at the age of 25, Hehn has begun writing and recording original compositions, which reflect the multiplicity of influences garnered throughout the past two-and-a-half decades. The debut album "Every Distant Memory" has just been released, and is being distributed to Amazon.com, Cdbaby.com, and music stores all across New England. In the meantime, wherever there is a piano, he will be playing in the ardently passionate yet gracefully tranquil style which has become his trademark.
