Joe Thayer - Travelin' With Me And George (2013)

Joe Thayer and George Rice met in 2008 at a local restaurant where Joe was playing dinner music. A friendship developed around music. George was returning to music after a forty year break during which he built a very successful business, and Joe was just starting a music career (and just turning 40). Although Joe plays seven nights a week as a solo artist, Monday nights with George became a special event as large crowds would gather to enjoy fine food and listen to the fun tunes by this duo. Their first album, "Me & George", was released in 2010 to a very popular response. On this first CD Joe and George were joined by a true pro, Peter Bonagiano, on drums. Three years later another CD was in the works, so........ Joe, George and Peter got together for a series of recording sessions and produced this new release, "Travelin' with Me& George". The music reflects the fun these guys have whenever they play live. Their wish is that you enjoy the music and the spirit in which the music was created. The Album is called Travelin' because it features tunes about the great places we enjoy, the memories attached to those places, and the wonderful people from those places who make our lives so rich.
