After two years in the making, John Grecia Band is releasing their first album, Thirteen-- a compilation of original songs by lead singer and pianist John Grecia. As a piano driven rock band, this five member group brings an electric energy to the stage as they perform throughout the Philadelphia area. For seven years, the band has consisted of a core group of musicians who worked to develop the songs for Thirteen. While recording, the band took the special opportunity to feature several guest musicians, adding to the vibrancy of the music. They have carried these collaborative efforts forward which has hightened the richness of their live performances. Audiences will experience a broad spectrum of styles in John Grecia Band's music, including rock, jazz, indie, reggae, and soul. The technical abilities as well as the passionate nature of each of the members provides any listener with an experience to remember.
