The song is about a very vivid dream I had in 1996 about moving to emerald Hills far away and the vworld traveler I would met and fall hoplessly in love with her. Two years later everything in the dream came true when I moved to Park City, UT im 1998, a few years later one of my ski racing students came to see me in the hospital after I broke my neck. Our relationship blossomed from there. Now 18 years later we are still married and in love, her name is Elizabeth and she is my fourth wife.,

I'm A Man

Even before you get to his musical career, Gary Dranow has an exciting and impressive resume. A young equestrian turned Motocross champion, a clothing line entrepreneur turned mortgage broker, a renowned ski instructor, and an academy founder. Gary Dranow has undoubtedly grabbed life with both hands and squeezed a lot out of it.

It is something that is reflected in his approach to music, too. He has been playing in bands since the age of 12, when The New Invaderz saw him first tread the boards. Since then, he has been on a long and exciting musical journey, leading to, most recently, the album Destiny Road, which includes, amongst other subjects, songs about his experiences with Bipolar 1 Disorder.

Musically, he runs across the sonic spectrum with a freedom that few other artists allow themselves, making styles and sounds as eclectic as southern blues and rootsy restraints, heavy metal onslaughts, and understated balladry totally his own.

His current EP, Never Give Up, sits more in the middle ground of his sonic adventures, the perfect place from which to appreciate the quality and accessibility of his songwriting. The title track neatly blends rock and roots, Jimi’s Song is a lush celebration of his iconic hero, and Shimmering is a song that ebbs and flows between pop and a hard place. It’s the tip of the iceberg regarding his back catalogue, metaphorically speaking, but it is also the perfect place to first dip your toes in Gary Dranow’s sonic waters.

Gary is one of those rare artists whose wide and varied back catalogue offers something for everyone. Whether you like your music hard and heavy, understated and atmospheric, pop-aware and accessible, bluesy and blistering, or anything in between, you are assured to find not only something to like but songs to love.

And if you can’t find that in this vast and eclectic collection of his past and present songs, you may need to reassess your relationship with the musical art form.
