| Gran Bel Fisher's Tour Gran Bel Fisher confirms further dates for his 2006 tour in support of, Full Moon Cigarette, just out on Hollywood Records. This tour will include stops in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Nashville, and Houston. His song, Bound By Love is featured in this season of "Grey's Anatomy", and is on the show's second soundtrack, which debuted at number 14 on the Billboard chart. When announcing Fisher as September's WXPN "Artist To Watch", Bruce Warren said, "The album is an excellent fusion of guitar driven rock, beautiful piano ballads, and pop. Gran Bel Fisher is a terrific new talent that deserves to reach a wider audience -- he is a great singer and a talented songwriter." After experiencing rapid success in being signed days after his first appearance at Los Angeles' The Viper Room, Gran Bel Fisher recorded this album with Beck's bandmembers, bassist Justin Meldal-Johnsen and drummer Joey Waronker. Also featured is producer/guitarist Dave Bassett who opened the door for Fisher after a chance meeting at a L.A. party and a collaborative session at Bassett's home. Born and raised in the small farming community of Sabina, Ohio, Fisher comes from a family steeped in tradition and music. He began playing the piano at age seven and taught himself the guitar while in high school. A skilled songwriter, he says, "I started thinking about how I see everything: life, love and death and those themes embody this entire album." write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
