Guitarist Steve Gregory’s debut album Frolic is a collection of instrumental tracks rooted in soulful jazz and flavored with a good dose of earthy rock, blues and funk. Although this may be Gregory’s first release as a solo artist, he’s a vastly experienced musician who has toured as guitarist for Ray Charles, Frankie Valli, Anjani, Alphonse Mouzon, and Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band. Besides his full-on touring stints, Steve Gregory has also performed with Macy Gray, Michael Buble, Patti Austin and many others, and has recorded music for numerous television shows.
Joining Gregory is an all-star ensemble that includes Jimmy Kimmel Live keyboardist Jeff Babko (James Taylor, Sheryl Crow, Steve Martin), bassist Eric Sittner (Patti Austin, Josh Nelson), and drummer / Grammy-nominee Ray Brinker (Tierney Sutton, Joe Cocker, Pat Benatar, Gordon Goodwin’s Big Phat Band). Highlights of Frolic include the upbeat earworm “Tell Me What You Feel,” the laid back “Hey, Marvin,” and the cool-jazz vibe of “After School.”
