John Banrock

The seventh full-length John Banrock album is a self-titled affair. The album's juxtaposition of originally written serious and lighthearted songs perfectly illustrates the muse of Banrock.  Helping beautify the landscape are contributions from fellow artists Laura Bowman, Chaucer Gilmore Copperfield Esq. IV, Fred Gillen Jr., Leo Harmonay, Claudia Jacques, Lou Torrieri, Alex Varga and Lawrence Weber.  Discover the lyrics. Discover the players. Discover the art that is John Banrock.

Possibilities

Possibilities, Banrock's sixth LP, is collection of all original instrumental compositions ("Moonbow" is co-written with longtime collaborator Lawrence Weber).  The album reflects a maturing artist motivated by art, not commercialism.  The multi-instrumentalist again performs every note (save Weber's contributions on "Moonbow") and handles all recording, mixing, mastering and album design duties for his third full length instrumental album.  The journey is new, the arrangements more complex. Rediscover an appreciation of fresh ideas and musical creativity on this multi-dimensional work of art.

Blues of the Witch (Single)

"Blues of the Witch" was written by Banrock for an episode of the The Outer Boroughs, an original web series created and produced by Eugene Lehnert.  Although a guitar based version was used in the episode, the decision was made to release a more theatrical version dressed in piano, bass and strings. Although Banrock handled most of the performing and production as usual, vocal duties were performed by Audrey McDonald who brilliantly sang the woes of the misunderstood witch. The cover art features actress Rin Olsson who starred in the episode.   **Note: Two version were released. One with and one without explicit lyrics**
