Julie Hanney is an Oregon-based pianist who composes and performs music that is unique, emotional, and invokes a deep sense of peace. Her grandmother was a piano teacher who introduced Julie to the piano at the age of five. This sparked a passion for music and she began writing her own music just a few years later. Her piano compositions have been described as peaceful, yet intriguing. One reviewer said she is "a delightful combination of George Winston meets Erik Satie." This truly compliments Julie's ability to compose and perform music that both inspires and soothes. Another reviewer said, "Expressive without being pretentious or needlessly flashy, Julie's music is a performance with an aura - one which will emotionally move you in many ways." Her style exists between the categories of neoclassical, new age, relaxing jazz and romantic.
