GIG

GIG is the brainchild of a trio of legendary music-makers Randy Goodrum, Dave Innis and Bruce Gaitsch (hence GIG from their last names).

Singer-songwriter Randy Goodrum has written or co-written countless hits, including “You Needed Me” for Anne Murray, “Who's Holding Donna Now” for El DeBarge, “Oh Sherrie” for Steve Perry and “I'll Be Over You” for Toto, to name just a few. Goodrum is also half of the renowned quality pop duo JaR, along with ace producer, songwriter and guitar player Jay Graydon.

Bruce Gaitsch is an extraordinary songwriter, guitarist and top session player who has performed and/or recorded with dozen of major acts, including Chicago, Celine Dion, Elton John, Amy Grant and Peter Cetera. Gaitsch has also co-penned big hits like “La Isla Bonita” for Madonna and “Don't Mean Nothing” with his old friend Richard Marx.

Dave Innis is one of the founding members of the successful country-pop group Restless Heart. He is also a successful songwriter and keyboard player, having penned and co-written hits for a number of world-class artists, including The Pointer Sisters, Peter Cetera, Lee Greenwood and Kenny Rogers, among others.

”Randy Goodrum, Dave Innis and Bruce Gaitsch have written and / or played on a mind-blowing array for great albums and songs, covering a number of musical genres. Yes, GIG is indeed an unlikely supergroup, and Brave New World deserves your attention.” — Something Else Reviews

”Not all super groups are successful in harnessing their talents and producing a cohesive recording that would reflect the pooling of the aptitudes involved. But this delightful debut recording that hits the streets on April 30th 2018 is all about the music and not the egos. One can only hope that this is not a one off event and that GIG will be willing to continue to live in this Brave New World and that their spectacular super smooth debut album will lead to other recordings.” — Undiscovered Artists

“Tagging GIG “new”, though, isn't quite right since each of the band members boast enviable music biz CVs.” — SoulandJazzandFunk

“Vous l’aurez compris pour peu qu’on aime le soft rock, la Westcoast Music ce GIG est parfait

“Vous l’aurez compris pour peu qu’on aime le soft rock, la Westcoast Music ce GIG est parfait. Alors attention c'est soft et pour certains ça le sera trop mais à la différence de pas mal d’albums du genre actuellement, je ne me suis pas ennuyé une seule seconde à l’écoute de Brave New World. J’aurais même tendance à remettre la touche repeat plutôt que le stop” — Rock Meeting

Randy Goodrum, Dave Innes and Bruce Gaitsch will be names familiar to soft rock/AOR/ Westcoast afficionados (and thus the band name). All 3 have written hits and produced variously for Steve Perry, Toto, Richard Marx, Peter Cetera, Kenny Rogers and many many more. Ask Wiki and it will go into meltdown.

All 3 have written hits and produced variously for Steve Perry, Toto, Richard Marx, Peter Cetera, Kenny Rogers and many many more. . So, an impressive pedigree and 3 illustrious Cvs. What could go wrong? Well, nothing really. The 3 are in lockstep all the way through. And this Brave New World is an old school world, filled with memorable melodies, cool production and uncluttered arrangements.” —The Midland Rocks

De platenmaatschappij kreeg de vocal tracks van Wiebe in handen via Haddad en vroeg aan GIG om het nummer, speciaal opnieuw aan te kleden. Op die manier kunnen we Wiebe’s stem nu al voor de derde keer horen, want ook op de Bacharach & Tonio K. en op de Tomi Malm-platen stond telkens een nummer dat hij nog had ingezongen. Derde keer op rij: dankuwel Constante Y Sonante! —Roots Time

“When Randy Goodrum, Dave Innis and Bruce Gaitsch team up together, music fans in the westcoast genre truly wake up! These great artists’ family names led to the monicker GIG and this is their first release. Absolutely nothing to complain about as for vocal and instrumental performances, of course, since everything released by these heroes are of high interest. And if you like a slight acoustical touch in your westcoast pop music – this is absolutely something for you.” —Melodic.net
