Mano Hanes on the V-Piano®
by Corey Fournier

When Mano isn’t on the road as music director for CeCe Winans, he’s producing albums for the likes of CeCe, Andrae’ Crouch, Israel Houghton, and Jonathan Butler.

He was nice enough to take some time from his busy schedule to spend a few moments playing and talking about music on one of his favorite new instruments—the Roland V-Piano.

If you haven’t heard Mano play, then you have to check out this video. If you have, then you know you’re in for a treat.
