‘Best of Serenity’ new album by Michael Kollwitz in Peaceful Radio Show 1564
23 October 2023 Uncategorized
Michael Kollwitz is an award-winning Billboard charting artist and one of the pioneer players and most prolific recording artists on a revolutionary stringed instrument known as The Chapman Stick®. Capable of astounding expressiveness and simultaneous multi-part arrangements, “The Stick’” combines elements of guitar, bass, keyboards, and percussion all into one instrument that is played more like a piano than a guitar.
Michael has had over 30 independent releases. “Serenity II,” “Serenity III,” and “Santa Plays The Stick” have all charted as Top 10 albums on Billboard’s New Age Album charts. “Santa Plays The Stick” won Best Holiday Album of 2019 from Zone Music Reporter.
Michael‘s music has received many awards, nominations, rave reviews, and considerable international airplay. His music is played in spas, on airlines, and over a thousand hospitals on The CARE Channel.
At a chance meeting on Maui, Carlos Santana was visibly impressed by Michael and his Chapman Stick. Carlos described Michael’s music as “a gift of the heart” that made him feel good when he heard it.
In early 2023, Kollwitz published an autobiographical journey through the earliest days of The Stick from his perspective as one of inventor Emmett Chapman’s first proteges. The book is entitled “Stick With It- Adventures of a Chapman Stick Player” and is available on Amazon as a paperback, e-book, or audiobook.
