Skip Friel Launches New Album, PASSAGE, 5/5

Skip Friel's new album, Passage, is set for a May 5th release. Percussionist Bob Simmons notes, "Passage speaks of the pathos of life, but at the same time offers inspiration and hope to 'everyman.' The album asks the mind to reflect, the soul to feel, and the heart to love."

Passage is the follow-up to Friel's solo award-winning album, Twilight Red Sky. The Virginia-based singer-songwriter performs a mix of original music with his band, the Resonators.

Produced by New Moon Music, the album was recorded and mixed by Randy Friel at Clay Garden Studios in Norfolk, VA and Scullville Studios of Scullville, NJ. Randy founded New Moon Music, an independent label specializing in blues and roots music. Clients include such greats as Levon Helm, Bruce Springsteen, Deborah Coleman, and the Dixie Hummingbirds. Tony Mascara of The Audio Lab in Millville, NJ mastered Passage.

Passage artists are: Charlie Austin, Julie Clark, Rosie Eberwine, Randy Friel, Fred Kovner, Gary Krebs, Cindy McNellis, Bob Rankin, Rich Ridolfino, Anna Lee Scully, Charlie Shugarman, Bob Simmons, and Martin Somers. The CD cover features original graphic art by Bart Morris of Morris Design and photography by Kathy Keeney, both of Norfolk, VA.

Available May 5 on CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon MP3 and www.skipfriel.com.
