The Solo Piano “Discovery” Concert features both up and coming and established piano artists in a very intimate setting on Saturday, February 9th. This year’s weekend will be hosted in Atlanta, Georgia. With all of the changes in Fred’s life in the Fall of 2018, David and Fred reconnected and from that moment, Fred was invited to attend the annual Whisperings Concert Weekend in Atlanta, GA as an artist.Įach year, dozens of Whisperings artists gather for the annual Whisperings Solo Piano All-Star Concert Weekend, where 30 artists perform across two shows and the “Whisperings Album of the Year” trophy is awarded. Whisperings Concert Weekend in Atlanta, GAĭespite having communicated with David Nevue for more than a decade, Fred’s piano music had never really found it’s way into his ears. The Christmas album enjoyed immediate success, charting in iTunes Holiday Charts Top 50, Top 100, and on Billboard Magazine’s “New Age” chart.
In December of 2018, Fred released his first Christmas album, “Silent Night”. He felt strongly that this next season of his life would be focused on his gifts as a pianist and composer. This was a compilation of some of his favorite interludes that were released on the podcast over the previous year.Īfter serving as a Worship Leader and Music Director in the local church for more than 24 years, Fred’s season as a staff church musician ended in the Fall of 2018. In 2017, Fred released his forth album, “Worship Interludes Volume 1” which was his second official solo piano album. This podcast is currently being downloaded over 1,000 times per day by listeners across more than 260 countries in the world. Then in February of 2017, Fred began to record and release his own improvisational interludes that came out of his morning devotions as the “ Worship Interludes” podcast. He did record his first (and only, thus far) live praise and worship album in 2005, “ Worship Under the Stars” – a dynamic praise and worship album recorded on Jekyll Island, Georgia.Īlthough he was making music daily in his role as a church musician, the recording stopped. This is still one of Fred’s best selling and streaming albums of all time.Īfter releasing “Be Glorified” in 1998, Fred’s life got very busy working in churches and running several internet-based businesses. This album features cover arrangements of some of the classic praise and worship songs such as “As The Deer”, “Holy and Anointed One”, “I Am The God That Healeth Thee”, and others. In the Fall of 1998, Fred released his first solo piano album, “ Be Glorified“. These two albums were designed to provide continuous play instrumental music for prayer, quiet time, and devotion. The following year, “QuietTimes” Volume 2 was released which featured Fred McKinnon on keyboards and his friend, Deutsch (Dutch) Heidler on saxophone. His first album, “ QuietTimes Keyboard Instrumental” was recorded in his college apartment with a single keyboard and sold thousands of copies. Fred’s Journey:įred McKinnon has been creating instrumental music for years.

He then sought out other like-minded pianists on sites like CD Baby. In the beginning, he invited a few of his pianist friends to join him on the broadcast. Nevue launched Whisperings: Solo Piano Radio on August 1st, 2003 as a vehicle for promoting his own particular flavor of piano music.
