Roly Platt – Debut CD: Inside Out

Harmonica news

The Big Picture:

Hi folks! As a “Professional Harmonica Player” (imagine the joy on my mother’s face when I broke that vocational news to her), I have enjoyed a long and very musically-rewarding career as a live and studio musician here in Canada. I have had the pleasure of playing and recording for many of the greats in the business – always in the important supporting-role of “sideman”.

I am now in the final pre-production stage of recording my debut album “INSIDE OUT”.

This will be mainly an instrumental album, but I will be having a couple of very special guest musicians/vocalists including – Steve Strongman and Jordan John, as well as a killer band – John Tilden (Guitar), Russ Boswell (Bass) Al Cross (Drums) and Lance Anderson on B3 and Piano.
It will be Blues-based, but will also showcase what I love to play through a variety of styles and will include 5 original tunes.

Produced by Lance Anderson
Recorded, Mixed and Mastered by Michael Haas at Inception Sound Studios in Toronto
