Innocent Ones by Jared Osmond

"Effortlessly bridging his love for music and experience as a producer, Jared combined elements of jazz, folk, contemporary, classical, and Christian music to evolve a songwriting style that is unmistakably his own. His songs have extraordinary depth, visibly moving his audiences with their intimacy and universality. With a breathtaking voice, his stage presence---powerfully emotive, but with a disarmingly natural charisma---is entrancing."

CD available through The Osmond General Store, JaredOsmond.com, Deseret Book.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Osmond Family—Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Marie and Jimmy recently reunited to celebrate a historic 50^th anniversary and performed live together for the first time in 27 years at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The show was filmed and will air nationally on PBS stations in March. The collectors DVD and CD packages of this historic evening will be released on DENON Records (a unit of the Savoy Label Group). Produced by Jimmy Osmond, the special effectively reignites “Osmondmania” just as Marie has returned to the spotlight with her spectacular turn on “Dancing With The Stars”.
