O'Neill
Brothers' Music to be Featured on HBO's Sex
& the City
New
Prague Times
July 1, 2003
You might have heard Tim and
Ryan O'Neill's easy-listening piano music at
an arts and crafts show, at one of their holiday
concerts, or in nearby gift shops, but you may
not have expected to hear it on television ...until
now. Clips of The O'Neill Brothers' music aired
on HBO's hit television comedy series, Sex and
the City, on Sunday, July 6th, 8 pm (CST). See

The brothers, natives of New
Prague, MN, met the show's musical director,
Dan Lieberstein, at (believe it or not) an arts
and crafts show in upstate New York over Labor
Day weekend this past year. They handed him
a complimentary CD of their original piano music
and thought nothing of it. Two days later, Lieberstein's
entertainment lawyer contacted them saying that
he loved the music and needed music for a baby
shower scene in three days. Tim and Ryan quickly
responded by sending him their lullaby CD,
Sweet Dreams.
Since that time, Tim and Ryan
have recorded additional clips of music for
the show, including sounds for a baby's mobile
in a nursery, and cocktail music for an upscale
lounge in New York City, where the characters
gather. Both clips will air on February 10.
What is next for these local
artists? They have many projects on their minds
for this coming year. "We're really thrilled
to have our clips chosen to air on the show,
considering that he (Lieberstein) receives over
20 CDs a day from various artists," said
Tim. "He has already asked us to continue
working on music for future clips for next season,
and the new sitcom, Ed. We'll try to compose
the music that he's looking for!"
"We're
also working on a wedding album this spring
that will hopefully be presented to some of
the major bridal magazines," said Ryan.
"One of our friends, whom we've met on
the road, has some great connections. It's just
fun to travel and meet so many interesting people!"
In the past six years, Tim and Ryan O'Neill
have sold over 600,000 copies of their 13 albums
at shows across the country. They look forward
to the upcoming year and the musical possibilities
that lie ahead. For more information about their
easy-listening solo piano albums, call (952)
