After we introduced Richard last week as the drummer it is
now time to introduce to you our dedicated bass player for
the new AUGUST
LIFEalbum..…
So, peeps, give a warm welcome to one of the finest bass
players in the field, the one and only:
Harry already participated on our debut album
NEW ETERNITY on 2 songs (Draw the line and Love/New
life) and man were we impressed by this guy. Especially the bass
solo before the guitar solo in Love/New life is more than worth
to give a (new) listen…
Gert was already made aware of Harry’s talents because of their
mutual participation for
FRIENDS OF ROCK and Gert and Bryan were
both convinced, especially after Harry’s participation on NEW
ETERNITY, Harry needed to be the bass player to perform next to
Richard’s excellent drum work on the new album.
