Artists
Walter Rose writes of lost love, hard times and the beauty that lies between. His debut EP plays like a cathartic journal with lyrics that are nothing less than honest. Rose’s heartfelt analog recordings speak of a bygone era of folk-country singer-song writers. This is an artist who wants nothing more than to be true to his craft. With his heart on his sleeve Walter Rose keeps no secrets but holds plenty of mystery.
Just A Hustle – EP released
Folk style musician, Gabriel Gandzjuk, has recently announced the release of his alluring new seven song EP album entitled, Just A Hustle (Listen & Buy here). The artist’s uniquely hard-to-categorize folksy style has frequently been referred to as minimalist in a purely modest way. Featuring just the man, his guitar, and his voice, each of the acoustic album’s seven songs are hauntingly introspective and thoroughly thought-provoking.
Raised throughout California, Gabriel Gandzjuk has an impressive story to tell as an artist. It wasn’t long after a devastating motorcycle accident that Gandzjuk’s newly-discovered knack for songwriting became prolific. Before long, the artist picked up a guitar and began interpreting the old Muddy Waters song, “Sittin’ Here and Drinkin’ (Whiskey Blues).” From then on, something just clicked; writing and performing music was not only a true passion for the artist, but also just a way of life.
With a style all of his own, Just A Hustle delivers Gandzjuk’s uniquely soulful (and often beautifully harsh) voice, complemented by his trademark intriguing “junky in a good way” acoustic guitar playing. It is no surprise that Gandzjuk’s west-coast influence strikes home, with songs brim full with imagery – in many ways, he’s a musical John Steinbeck. And, although his sound is completely original, it would be hard not to hear ghost-notes of Elvis Presley’s Sun Records Sessions channeled pleasantly through the music.
