Rock Virtuoso Gary Dranow Defies Odds with New Single 'The King is Dead


ree

From the scenic landscapes of Park City, Utah, arises a musical maestro – Gary Dranow. With a heart full of dedication and hands adept in guitar-playing, Dranow’s musical journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Deeply influenced by legends such as Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn, Dranow, along with The Manic Emotions, has etched a remarkable presence in the realms of Blues and Rock music.


His latest release, "The King is Dead," is a testament to his evolution as an artist. Drenched in the nostalgia of '80s and '90s rock, the track is a profound exploration of love's complexities amidst an unkind world torn by wars, racism, and prejudice. The song, much like its counterpart "Day I was Born," was recorded almost live, in one take, with minimal overdubs, enhancing the raw and compelling energy that is quintessentially Dranow.


The talented ensemble of Gary Dranow on rhythm and lead guitar and vocals, Paula DeFries on backup vocals, Jerry Manfredi on bass, Jethro DeFries on drums, and Tommy Mars on keyboards, harmonize to weave a captivating sonic tale. The collective charisma and prowess of the band fill the track with infectious rhythm and soul-stirring melodies.


"The King is Dead" reveals a powerful metaphor for love. It is a poignant call to arms, urging humanity to rekindle the flames of brotherhood and sisterhood, in an age where "world love" seems a dwindling treasure.


Drift away with Gary Dranow's passionate guitar strains and raw, soulful vocals. Keep an ear out for his upcoming double album, "Never Give Up," co-written with Chris Zoupa, and their first single "18. It's Alright?" slated for release on July 12th. Given the impressive craftsmanship showcased in "The King is Dead," the anticipation is high. This rock virtuoso is truly one to watch!
