Artist description The Godsend Sessions are a New York City rock n' roll band,led by a truly genre-defying, singer/songwriter/guitarist,Joe Gande.They have recently completed the album,"But First...This Song". After endless pre - production, 17 exploding drummers,the quest for the holy engineer and 29 vats of coffee, out of Joe's head and into the studio the songs went. The initial basic rhythm tracks were recorded live in 2 days and the rest of the recording madness continued! The result... a record that has a classic yet modern sound with a somewhat 1970's vibe(analog tape!), offering an eclectic mix of musical styles.One can hear elements of hard rock,pop,jazz,soul and blues.The music provides listeners with dynamics, heartfelt emotions and a certain raw intensity, that for the most part, seems to be missing on today's music scene.From song to song you may hear lush string arrangements, powerful vocal harmonies,walls of guitars and jazzy, funky, rhythm grooves. Listen with headphones!! The album was engineered by James B. Gately Jr., and mastered by Ted Jensen at Sterling Sound, N.Y.C. The current live line-up features a five piece horn section(The Mountain Stab Horns), long time friend, Craig Shrawder on keys and vocals, Kevin Bregande(thank God!!!!!) - drums, Jim Gately - guitars and vocals, Neal Ostberg on bass and Joe Gande - lead vocals/guitars/piano. Thank you.....And Goodnight
