Very comparable to the sounds of Rascal Flatts and Lonestar, song lyrics on this new record speak of relationships with family and their Heavenly Father. "We also wanted to give our new trio venture a fitting name with this new style. Rather than the traditional Beene Brothers, we decided on "Beene Patch"", laughs Landon.

For nearly a decade, Landon Beene has thrilled audiences with his piano performances. You can tell just by watching him play that he loves what he does! But it has not always been that way. At the age of 10, Landon's parents would have to fight Landon to get him to practice! That is, until a Gospel concert changed his life! From that moment on, the Beene Family household was filled with the sound of piano playing.
Now, Landon offers that same inspiration to young piano students and veterans players alike! In a unique instructional DVD, Landon shows you tips, techniques and tricks to add flavor to your piano skills. With the advantage of three camera angles, including an overhead camera on Landon's fingers and the keys, you will be amazed at just how simple it can be! Bonus features also include Landon performing those same instructions during personal performances of Beene Family favorites, including "Somebody Prayed For Me" and "Beautiful Home". |
