Neil Citron to Produce debut CD of Bridge of Sighs

12-24-07

Bridge of Sighs has retained Neil Citron ( Stev Vai, Joe Satriani , Franki Banali,Quiet Riot,& Glenn Hughes among many others ) to produce and engineer their debut CD (yet to be named) to be released by Roxbury Records in summer 2008. Recording began September 16, 2007 where 7 songs were tracked live at Entourage Studios in the NOHO district north of Los Angeles. Further work continues on the recordings at Steve Vai's Mothership studios in Hollywood and Encino.

BRIDGE OF SIGHS is a Los Angeles-based band featuring Trent Stroh, Mike Taylor, and Tom Neely which began as a Robin Trower Revival Band in 2002. After several years of touring Bridge of Sighs evolved into one of Hollywood's best original band. Among 2 re-makes of Trower classics the band now focuses on its own writings inspired by the group's diverse musical backgrounds.

Although BOS spawned numerous tributes to Trower nationwide, all striving to re-create Trowers sound and style, THIS IS AND WAS NEVER A TRIBUTE. During it's tenure as a Trower only performance it was always a tastefully performed re-interpretation of the music that defined Trio Rock. Trower Tribute Bands nationwide now number in the dozens when prior to Bridge of Sighs' maiden gig in 2002 there were none. The goal of the band was never to copy, but to evolve the music. The band was fortunate to have Trower's very own Bill Lordan in the band during 03' & 04'.Bill Lordan's influence is still present in the Band's motto of evolution and not duplication.
