With their new single “Marriage,” Garretson & Gorodetsky adds bluesy grit to their Indie/Underground sound, resulting in a boisterous and uplifting ride.
Featuring singer Weba Garretson (The Eastside Sinfonietta,) guitarist Ralph Gorodetsky (Universal Congress Of,) multi-instrumentalist Vince Meghrouni (Mike Watt, The BellRays) on blues harp, bassist Laura Grissom (Tune To Me) and drummer Brian Christopherson (Saccharine Trust,) Garretson & Gorodetsky’s upbeat, blueswailing new single “Marriage” is the follow-up to “Weight Of The World” which recently reached the Top Ten at numerous radio outlets worldwide. Like “Weight Of The World,” “Marriage” was recorded at the renowned Hollywood studio Gold-Diggers Sound with producer/engineer Ed McEntee (Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Yoko Ono) and producer/mixer Mark Wheaton (Nels Cline, Ann Magnuson.)
The group has been writing and performing new material over the past year, creating songs that contain angular elements of blues, soul and chamber pop. “Marriage” is the second of several singles that the group plans to release this year.
