The JavaMusiK BloG

If you're feeling desperate in your search for online reading material,
hop over to The JavaMusiK BloG for some reading
with ...no point whatsoever.... as advertised.


Jeff Van Devender recently played at
Borders Books & Music in Grand Junction, CO.
We look forward to more showcases with Borders Books & Music in the future. In the meantime, both cd releases are available for purchase at this location.



Synyrgyze! was recently awarded Top Track Of The Month status at Melodrift Productions. A review and free download of the song is available for those who stop by Melodrift Productions. JavaMusiK is very appreciative of the recognition from Melodrift Productions.


JavaMusiK has experienced some recent success on the music charts over at FuNEnD3R and at SoundClick - MP3 hosting sites. These charts are updated daily based on the number of plays any given song receives. At SoundClick, an artist can only have 2 songs charted at a time, so only the top 2 songs played by that artist will be ranked.


Storm King Sacrifice achieved a peak position of #2 last October on SoundClick's Acoustic Piano. It also peaked at #8 in the broader Acoustic Music chart.

A press release detailing the story & origins of
Storm King Sacrifice was recently distributed by several worldwide newswires, including eMediaWire. (Van Devender was a witness to the trajedy.)
Another press release detailing the meteoric rise to the top of the charts can be located at this eMediaWire location.

Since Sept. 11, 2003 proceeds from the sale of all JavaMusiK releases - available at CDBaby, FuNEnD3R.com and Melodrift Productions - will be distributed to a firefighter memorial fund. One hundred dollars has been contributed to the Memorial fund so far.

This decision was reinforced after Van Devender's chance meeting with 3 of the 4 surviving members of FDNY Rescue #4 last Fall.

A copy of Bending Chords with Storm King Sacrifice was recently sent to each of the families who lost someone in this trajedy. Many beautiful responses have been received from the families since.


JavaMusiK is currently in the research phase of bringing together musicians for a JavaMusiK Troubador Series in selected sites throughout western Colorado. Money raised at these shows will contribute to a charity to be named later. We're happy to announce that Boulder musician, Dan Oakenhead has signed on to kick this series off. Dates and more info to be announced soon!

JavaMusiK artist Jeff Van Devender was the featured Thanksgiving musical attraction at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado this year. He played for 5 hours Thanksgiving Day over lunch and early afternoon in the MacGregor Room. You may remember this fine historic destination resort as the home of Stephen King's "The Shining" as well as a beautiful, historic setting in the middle of the Rockies.
