By: Caryn Robbins Jun. 29, 2017
From the producer of "Guitars For Wounded Warriors," Multi-Emmy award winning guitarist/composer Brian Tarquin has a new project featuring a host of superstar guitar virtuosos out on Cleopatra Records on July 7. Band of Brothers, was formed with singer Phil Naro (Talas, Julian Lennon, Peter Criss) and drummer Reggie Pryor (Albert King). Tarquin produced, engineered and co-composed the album with Phil Naro, which features guest appearances by Jeff Scott Soto (Journey, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Steve Morse (Deep Purple), Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal (ex-Guns N' Rose), Trey Gunn (King Crimson), Jeff Watson (Night Ranger), Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake), Gary Hoey, Tony Franklin (Jimmy Page, Blue Murder) and Tina Guo (Al Di Meola).
The album features exclusive tracks inspired by those military soldiers who have fought for their country. Partial proceeds from the sales go to the Fisher House Foundation, http://fisherhouse.org who supplies housing to veterans' families while they are hospitalized. What better way to celebrate July 4th than with superb tribute to our veterans!
Says Brian, "My dad was a Marine in WW2 so I am very mindful of the sacrifice that men and women under go to keep us free. This is how I can show my appreciation to them through these compositions of music."
