You can now pre-order David Benoit's new album Earthglow.
Release date is set for April 20, 2010.

March 11 - Time for a David Benoit contest giveaway --Thanks to our friends at Montalvo Arts Center, who have generously given us 10 pairs of tickets to The Asia America Youth Orchestra concert on Sunday, May 9, 2010 (Mother's Day!) at 3pm in the Carriage House Theatre, Saratoga, CA. The concert will feature the Northern California premiere of David Benoit's new orchestral composition, "Native Californian," which was written while he was in residence at Villa Montalvo last fall. I've had the pleasure of hearing this piece, and you will not want to miss it!!! This will be one of the few opportunities to hear "Native Californian" live, with this talented group of young musicians under David's baton. If you would like to enter to win a pair of tickets, just send an email to davidbenoitcontest@gmail.com with the subject "Montalvo Ticket Giveaway,"and include 1) your name, 2) city where you live, 3) your favorite David Benoit song, and 4) how you found out about the contest (web site, David Benoit Music on Facebook, or DBMusic on Twitter). Contest winners will be randomly selected from all entries, and winners will be notified by email on May 2, 2010. Good luck!

March 3 - It's a rainy day here in California. Perfect weather to chill to another new David Benoit tune. Here's Will's Chill (one of my favorites from "Earthglow").

February 26 - Are you ready to hear some "Earthglow" samples? Here's the first one (and coincidentally, the first track on the album) -- Botswana Bossanova. Enjoy!

February 25 - Ohio fans (near Alliance) have something to celebrate -- a free David Benoit concert, presented by WRMU-FM 91.1, Mount Union College's student run radio station. Mark your calendar for Thursday, March 18, 7:30 pm.

January 18 - Newsflash - the name of the new David Benoit album has been changed, and is now ... "Earthglow."
