Renowned acoustic artist Don Conoscenti performs his popular song, "The
Other Side," on the nationally syndicated television show "Crossing Over
with John Edward" February 20.
John Edward heard Conoscenti perform "The Other Side" during a live
interview on WFUV-FM radio in New York City. Although the show's format does
not usually include musical performances, Edward invited the songwriter to
share the touching song as a guest on the show.
Major networks throughout the country carry the syndicated show during the
day and it airs on the Sci-Fi Channel at night. No date as been set for when
the performance will be shown on the Sci-Fi Channel. Networks carrying the
show during the day will air the performance February 20. Audiences should
check their local listings for the time of the broadcast in their area.
Welcome at premier acoustic venues across the country, Conoscenti was a
winner of the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest Songwriting Competition, a National
Academy of Songwriters' Acoustic Artist of the Year finalist, and Musician
of the Year in Atlanta. Following a 1999 performance at the Kennedy Center,
the Library of Congress added the musician to their archives as a folk
revivalist.
He currently resides in Alamosa, Colorado, where Cogtone Records is
releasing the songwriter's ninth album, Live from Eddie's Attic, in March.
