Grammy Winner Andrew Synowiec, Guitar Hero and Session Master, Releases New Single 'Triad Days'
LOS ANGELES, February 6, 2019 (Newswire.com) - Grammy Winner Andrew Synowiec will release another track from his upcoming album "Second Story" on Feb. 8. This time, session guitar legend Tim Pierce joins Andrew on the track captured live in a historic Hollywood studio. "Triad Days" brings together the best elements of '70s instrumental rock fused with hip-hop beats and modern harmony. On this track, a feeling of true musical dialogue exudes from the speakers as the listener is taken on a dynamic ride.
Andrew has contributed to over 25 Grammy-nominated recordings including his own 2015 Grammy Award win as a member of the L.A. big band Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band. He has worked with A-Listers and who's who of producers including David Foster, Bob Rock and Giorgio Moroder, most notably on his No. 1 hits with Britney Spears and Kylie Minogue.
On "Triad Days," Tim and Andrew push each other to new heights during their guitar duel, while synchronous drummers Blair Sinta and Jake Reed echo the dueling guitars with an infectious give-and-take reminiscent of the Allman Brothers and the Grateful Dead. Fred Kron lays down an inspired solo on a vintage Rhodes electric piano supported by the ever-rock-solid Sean Hurley.
More on Andrew Synowiec: When you yourself are a sought-after guitarist and the legendary Steve Vai has positive things to say about a new project, that's as good as it gets. Andrew Synowiec's debut single "Albuquerque Blues" from his soon-to-be-released album Second Story (May 3) was released on Friday, Jan. 11, 2019. The positive reviews and reaction have come from all sides including journalists and peers alike.
Here's what Steve Vai had to say to Andrew: "I really like the sound of this record. Has an analog feel and total group dynamic. Your tone is off-the-hook beautiful and the guitar is presented on a silver platter. I also love the daring nature of your melodies and solos. Amazing technique, feel, tone, note choice and phrasing. This is such an impressive-sounding and performed record. Feels like you and the boys were actually having a lot of fun with it."
Andrew says, "Albuquerque Blues was written for Tim Pierce who is a legendary session guitarist and good friend. Being a session player myself, I rarely perform my own compositions. I wanted to write something that felt instantly familiar. This, 'Albuquerque Blues' my debut solo single, is taken from the album, which will be released on May 3. The entire album was recorded in six hours at Band House Studios in Hollywood, California. The dual drummer band featuring bassist Sean Hurley from John Mayer's band is reminiscent of the Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers."
The single "Albuquerque Blues" was produced by John Paterno, known for his work with Steve Gadd and Robben Ford. The band includes Tim Pierce along with Sean Hurley and Fred Kron. Two incredible drummers, Blair Sinta and Jake Reed, deliver simultaneous performances that lay down the foundation of this psychedelic sound bath.
Never one to rest on his laurels, Andrew released the second single from the upcoming album on Jan. 25, 2019, entitled "Gift Horse."
With a crisp double-drum attack on a 7/4 funk groove, on "Gift Horse," Sean Hurley lays down a super-solid foundation on his signature P-Bass. Fred Kron delivers a trippy Rhodes solo. Andrew's guitar solo channels equal parts Jeff Beck and Robben Ford while making good use of a psychedelic ring-modulator effect on the melody statement.
Not content to leave his "day job," the world's top film composers seek out Andrew. He's performed on the scores for Michael Giacchino, Chris Beck, Joe Trapanese, John Debney, Alexandre Desplat, Marco Beltrami and John Powell. His film and TV credits are numerous. He has appeared on the corresponding soundtracks such as Disney's modern classic Frozen (including the infectious song "Let It Go"), The Greatest Showman, Coco, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Logan, Zootopia, Inside Out, Oblivion, Transformers, Mission Impossible, Crazy Stupid Love, Little Fockers, The Secret Life of Pets, A Good Day to Die Hard, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Hart of Dixie, The Middle, Quantico, The Good Place, NBC Sunday Night Football, the 2018 Super Bowl Theme and the 2019 Golden Globes.
Andrew's home base is his private recording studio "House of Syn," designed and built from the ground up by George Augspurger. George is known throughout the world for his expertise in studio design, audio and acoustical engineering.
