Another
entry into the Christen contemporary format is Dawn Van Name and her CD
No Harden Heart. Taking an acoustic country approach to her music Van Name
played guitar, wrote and co-produced the disc with Glenn Bernardis (Kilbrannan)
on guitar and production help. Also lending a hand are Ted Wiese on drums
and Jennifer Betschen on backing vocals. The message of her music is never
overbearing in its delivery and the music itself tends to be subtle in
its tone. Friendship, love and marriage are some themes addressed on the
disc. Tracks of note include “Love Spell”, “I’ll Show My Love” and “Don’t
Throw It Away” which rocks behind Bernardis’ guitar playing. For more on
