Garry Segal releases new effort

After 20 years of successful recording (3 critically acclaimed CDs) and touring with his rockin' blues band Garry & the Moodswingers, bandleader Garry Segal embarked on a solo career. Seeking a more personal connection with his audience, Garry got back to basics with a guitar, his voice, pencil, paper and the insights gained from many years on the road, marriage, love and betrayal.
His soulful singing, accompanied by his acoustic guitar, harmonica and a killer backing band, combine to make a powerful musical statement on this new CD. His sly and wry lyrics give the listener a chance to see Garry's world of failed dreams, humor and hope.
Now living in the shadow of Cold Mountain in North Carolina Garry continues to write and perform around the country either solo or with the To Dye For Band. Enjoy this new slice of Americana Music , acoustic rock bluegrass pie with a shot of blues to wash it all down. Luckily, the special guests on the CD are not just hired hands, but long time friends with Garry. After listening to this CD, you will hear how all the supporting players in the TO DYE FOR BAND lift Garry's songs to new heights.
