Jim Brickman

Jim Brickman's music does something rare: it lowers your shoulders. A Cleveland-born, Case Western-educated pianist with two Grammy nods and a Songwriter of the Year title, he could easily lean on technique to impress. Instead he writes melodies that simply sit beside you, equally at home in a wedding or a quiet kitchen at midnight. His parallel life as a radio host tells me he genuinely understands how people feel, not just how notes resolve. I have a real weakness for artists who master subtraction rather than spectacle, and Brickman is a quiet master of exactly that. He warms a room without ever raising his voice.
