After twenty years of performing as a sideman, von Baron released his first album of New Age music in 2007. In his debut album, “Pangaea,” recorded under his own label, von Baron Music, LLC, he blends musical influences from Sting to Yanni and presents an eclectic combination of rhythms and instrumentation from around the world. His second album, “Souljourner,” released in May, continues this musical journey unifying New Age music and World Music into a genre von Baron refers to as “World Age Music.”
