Blue Coast Records and Blue Coast World would like to wish all of our fans, friends, family and followers a very Happy Valentine's Day!  While you're enjoying chocolate, flowers and time with your significant other, we hope our weekend release by solo piano artist, John Hinson, will give you 9 minutes and 20 seconds of time well spent together.  You can listen to the piece in its entirety streaming at 192 kbps at

We'd like to thank our Discovery and Distribution folks at Downloads NOW! for their incredible help getting this music up so quickly.  The internet is amazing when you think that last week, John and Blue Coast were strangers last week and today he's our featured artist.  We look forward to more spontaneous findings.

Surprise Download Coming this Week!

It's always a treat when you have a young, talented artist, who you've never heard of, suddenly show up at your doorstep unexpectedly.  (And he hadn't heard of us either, by the way)....

Yesterday, John Hinson called our studio, OTR Studios, to book some recording time on the Steinway while he was passing through the Bay Area.  John was moving his family from Seattle to Phoenix and had stopped in Medford, Oregon to call.  He could be there tomorrow, he said.  Typically, we don't book sessions without 3 weeks of advance notice, but we had some time and he seemed like a nice guy...

John arrived and we recorded to tape and DSD.  The music and his playing sounded so good, I asked if we could offer this on Blue Coast for our fans.  We'll send out another email when we have the music posted.

It will be an exclusive to our mailing list fans only.. so JOIN UP NOW!

Thanks, and be on the look out!
