Gene Pringle



Gene Pringle
 
Listening to Gene’s music, it doesn’t take long to forget you’re listening to one person. All the writing, all the production, vocals, mix etc.  A unique experience where the final product is as close to the original vision as is possible. Gene brings a lifetime of experience to this CD.
A professional press writer would talk about all the people Gene played with and the places he played, the fact he joined a band to be the keyboard player without ever playing keyboards before, and 2 weeks later playing a large arena gig. but all thats really important is the new music and the stories they tell.
14 tracks covering a wide range of music from the guitar oriented full tilt to the soft piano and strings, retro to pusing the limits.

T J Doyle


TJ Doyle transmits an authenticity that harks back to the 60's when artists were writing about the challenges of a generation instead of the more personal and relationship-oriented pop and rock that currently dominates the airwaves.

Harboring a deep connection with the natural world by listening, observing and living at peace, Doyle infuses his passion for the environment into his music with a unique sense of purpose and direction. The singer-songwriter lives in a community on the edge of the Angeles National Forest above LA - where his band converges to play cyclical gigs at The Whiskey, The Roxy and other LA rock institutions.

TJ's sophomore album, On The Horizon, amplifies the disillusioned uneasiness of his 2009 debut One True Thing, while reaching deeper into the realms of human experience to artfully address environmental issues and the world at large. Recorded at Studio City Sound with Grammy award winning engineer Tom Weir, On The Horizon boasts a quality and character which emboldens the albums overarching message of rehabilitating humanity.

As Doyle puts it, "many perceived separations exist on the surface, while there is something much deeper that humans share behind the mask of consciousness."
