World indie rock? Never heard of it!...until now. Trek blends modern indie rock with world rhythms to create an incredibly unique sound. At times ethereal and other times driving, from the ivory tower is a musical journey that you'll want to take again and again.
Trek was born out of war, sadness and frustration. Although not a concept album per se, from the ivory tower seeks to shine a light on the world of power and politics today. It is the flipside of the coin, the one that didn't land face up.
Trek is the brain child of singer/songwriter/producer Bryan Steele. During a three year tour with the Broadway show, "Movin' Out", Steele started song writing extensively. Some of those co-written songs were featured on different CDs but while writing on his own, Steele began what would become from the ivory tower. Recorded over a two-year period, the CD features a host of world class musicians from both all over the U.S. and South Africa.
Featuring: Denny Blake, Jack Morer & Dennis DelGaudio (guitars), John Roggie (organ & clavinet), Malcolm Gold (bass), Wes Little & Mike Sorrentino (drums), Barbara Phaneuf, Donna Harris & Kenny Richards (backing vocals), Jason Aspinwall & Mark Miller (brass) and very special guest from Johannesburg, South Africa Concord Nkabinde (bass and vocals).
And of course…
Bryan Steele on lead vocals (and a few other things).
