Singer/songwriter Will Diehl has released his seventh full-length CD entitled A Dream Of Peace. Diehl’s expressive style ranges from contemporary folk to alternative and his hopeful lyrics explore the ambiguities presented by life and love.

Diehl is also donating 50 percent of the profits from sales of all of his CDs and Internet profits during the first four months of 2002 to World Hunger Year (www.worldhungeryear.org) and to Lemoyne Channels Food Rescue (www.paonline.com/channels).

Diehl has written more than 1,000 songs, dealing with love, relationships and environmental and social issues. Some of Diehl’s musical inspirations were culled in New York City performing in Greenwich Village clubs at night. He then left for Boston, where he co-wrote a children’s musical that was produced by the Boston Children’s Theatre. He and director George Giglio co-wrote The Amazing Musical Adventure of Herbert.

The production was recently adapted for video starring Boston youth. The main character discovers “it’s better to be yourself. Everyone has their own talent. You should make the most of who you are,” said Diehl.

Diehl was recently invited to play at the Millennium Music Conference in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Feb. 15 at 10 p.m. This is an excellent opportunity to see Diehl live as well as many other artists who will be part of the conference weekend. Details are available at www.willdiehl.com.
