An
exciting new voice in the indie Americana world, Louisville
singer/songwriter GABE CLOSE can pinpoint a host of powerful
influences that have driven the development of his uniquely diverse
sound and compelling, thought provoking lyrical themes. After leaning
towards the blues on his previous recordings LEARNING TO WAIT FOR THE DAWN
(2010) and SOUNDS FOR AN OLD SOUL (2013),
he’s taking a powerful mixed acoustic-electric approach – with
some songs stripped down, others dynamically produced – on his
latest six track EP LEAVE THAT LIGHT ON. Concurrently
developing his chops as a producer, GABE n his
previous projects – a total of two years – and get the musicians
and sound he felt like each song deserved. The energetic, acoustic
driven WEARY WIND – a semi-love song about leaving all you’ve
known for what you believe will be a better life – benefits from
the beautiful vocals of Louisville singer MOLLY GREER. While the
provocative LOVE YOU LIKE A MAN – a hard hitting look at the
evils of men to who turn to domestic violence – achieves its
emotional intimacy via a gentle acoustic guitar accompaniment, other
tunes like EVERYTHING REMINDS ME OF YOU (a heartfelt song
inspired by friends who had suffered the loss of loved ones) and CRIPPLING WEIGHT are powerhouse productions featuring a horn
section, organ and sax solos by MUSCLE SHOALS veteran RONNIE EADS.
