Timo Gross - Travellin' (2007)

In 2005, after 25 years in the music business, Timo Gross decided to end his work for stars and asterisks such as Chris Norman or Kathy Kelly, and from now on devoted himself to his solo career. This requires the determination that characterizes Timo Gross and is drawn through his work.

With his enormous creative output, he has since published seven solo albums and three collaborations as "The Vineyard Sessions" with Richie Arndt, Gregor Hilden and Alex Conti, establishing itself in the German Blu-ray scene. He also made a name for himself as a producer for new acts such as Johnny Rieger and Marius Tilly.

The guitarist and singer has long since gained the reputation of being able to keep up with the international blues sizes - not for nothing were three of his albums already nominated for the German Record Critics' Prize until he was awarded the "Fallen from Grace" In the same year, Gross was also nominated for four German Blues Awards. Since then he has received three more nominations.

Now Gross goes one step further and publishes his eighth solo album "Heavy Soul" for the first time with his own label "Grand Cru Records". As a sales partner, his old label "In-akustik" was won. In addition to the production, Gross is also responsible for the complete artwork.

Rooted in blues and yet highly modern, he proves once again that he is an extremely contemporary and versatile guitarist with his own sound and his own sound. All his songs and the productions carry his manuscript. No matter if he plays a Strat, a Les Paul or a Firebird, his tone always penetrates, is always own and always individual. He has earned his reputation as one of the leading German blues guitarists. His singing has developed over the past few years in a multi-layer, differentiated, rough and yet warm manner. His songwriting became more sophisticated and more sophisticated.

"Heavy Soul" is a consistent and logical musical development of the artistic identity and authenticity of Timo Gross.~ google
