Backbone Sessions #1 and  Gary have been getting a lot of attention lately.      Colorado Music Buzz gave Backbone Sessions a raving review in the October 2011 edition and then followed up in the November 2011 issue with an interview with Gary.   Links to both of these articles are on the "Press" page of this website.   When you get a chance, read them and tell us what you think.   (And tell your friends).   Thanks.

Airplay in London,NY & Australia

Hi Everyone, 
An update...Backbone Sessions #1 is getting radio play in  London, New York and Australia as well a s few places in between.. Stations include internet and FM stations. As you can guess, this is a tough feat, but the more support the songs get, the more often they get played. They play mainstream tunes that you have heard forever as well as new, unsigned tunes. It's pretty cool.   Both tunes from "BackBone Sessions #1" are being played.  REmember, BackBone Sessions is available on Rockband network and iTunes.  Thanks, Gary

Testify Here!

Just wanted to say thank you for getting your songs into Rock Band. I picked them both up because the samples sounded promising and I was not disappointed. "Fair Weather Friend" is especially fun to play along with, and is a great song to boot. So, from an old music fan and an avid gamer... Thanks! Mike Healy

I love listening to your music on long road trips! Especially at night by myself. Warm and comforting like I am not alone.  And memory-cojuring even though the songs are not from my past. DAMN GOOD STUFF!  Thank you.  Jay Maudlin, Tyler TX

Digital downloads on iTunes

 "Diana Don't Slow Down" and "Fair Weather Friend", are available worldwide on over 400 digital markets.  iTunes, Amazon, and all of the other ones. Go get them   Thanks!  - GDS
