Park City's Own Gary Dranow and The Manic Emotions Unveil a Touching Ode to Fatherly Wisdom and Love.

In an industry where authentic emotion and storytelling occasionally take a backseat to commercial soundscapes, Gary Dranow comes into the soundwaves with a narrative that blends the world of rock with pop and most importantly, meaning. His song "Dad" deep delves into the sanctity of the father-son relationship. Inspired by a heartfelt Christmas letter from Matthew DeBlanc to his father, Harold, this song is a spectacular pop-rock anthem that will undeniably have you in your feelings. It invites listeners on an emotional voyage, echoing the sentiments shared between Harold and his son, Matthew, in a musical homage to the unbreakable bonds of family and the enduring influence of a father's love.


Gary Dranow as the lead member of The Manic Emotions has become a personal favorite artist of mine due to the eclectic nature of his craft. From classic rock to pop and even his Dance-based releases under the group Astralix, he has proven himself to be an artist worthy of admiration. It's artists such as the aforementioned, that I am glad to have started TJPL News. His work ethic, consistent releases, and dedication to his craft are qualities that should be appreciated and most importantly, heard.  Alongside him, stand talents from across the globe including Chris Zoupa, Jason Jones, Roman Burda, Klim Apalkov, and Roman Kuznetsov who all contribute to the evergrowing sound of these releases - So check them out if you haven't already!
