HIRSH GARDNER

In the late 70`s/early 80`s legendary drummer, producer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Hirsh Gardner and his band New England dazzled record buyers and audiences alike with their own innovative mix of supreme AOR/Melodic Rock. Supporting KISS on the 1979 Dynasty Tour, New England’s first release `Don`t Ever Wanna Lose Ya` broke into Billboard’s revered Top 40. Throughout the intervening years Hirsh has produced countless artists as well as achieving critical acclaim and rewards from his musical peers with `Producer of the Year` accolades along the way.

Gardner’s new album Third Time’s A Charm is out now through Deko Entertainment and is split into 2 very different parts. Side one is all original material that builds on the ideas that Hirsh laid down on his previous solo releases and side two is brand new recordings of classic New England songs that brings the material kicking into the 21st century. Gardner has rounded up fellow New England band mates Gary Shea (New England, Alcatraz) and Jimmy Waldo (New England, Alcatraz), along with Ron ’Bumblefoot’ Thal (Guns N’ Roses, Asia, Sons of Appollo) for the recording of “Nothing To Fear” and now is releasing a new video.

Fireworks Magazine contributor Malcom Smith summed up the track and new video nicely, “The latest single to be taken from Hirsh Gardner’s acclaimed 3rd solo album Third Time’s A Charm is ‘Nothing To Fear’. Long standing New England fans will no doubt be aware that this iconic track was one of the centrepieces of the groundbreaking New England debut record first released in 1979. Written by New England Guitarist/ Vocalist John Fannon, this new version features not only Hirsh’s New England colleagues Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea on Keyboards and Bass respectively, but is also a vehicle for the immense talents of one Ron ‘Bumblefoot’ Thal on lead guitar, who gives an incredible performance that gives the song a contemporary 21st century makeover. Hirsh, who sang lead vocals on the 1979 original, has once more delivered a compelling and emotional vocal that sends shivers down the spine, and as for his drumming…well it goes without saying, he’s the master of giving any song he appears on a formidable foundation and backbone like no other. ‘Nothing To Fear’ is a majestic yet powerful track that in the realms of the rock world has few, if any equals!!

As Hirsh explains, “Third Time’s A Charm is a diverse mix of music, featuring a total of 12 songs. Half of these are original compositions, showcasing a wide range of my musical tastes from the raucous metal of Lover’s Lullaby, to melodic rock ballads like Miles Away and the extremely commercial Angel In The Sky which could easily be a Top 40 hit in today’s rock market. The other half consists of covers from New England’s catalog, paying homage to the band’s iconic legacy. Among the luminaries contributing to the album are Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal, Chris Laney, and Alan Sorensen from Pretty Maids, as well as Joe Feloni and David Sumner from my own band, The Hirsh Gardner Project.”

Co-producer and mixer Laney ads, “I have been a huge New England fan from the start and when I reached out to Hirsh I found not only the legend but also a friend. We started a co-lab on an old Warrior track and that went so great we wrote more songs. It all ended up with me helping out on the lion’s share of the album, playing and mixing. I am so proud over the result, and I hope my fellow NE fans will enjoy it as much as I do.”

Bumblefoot continues, “I’m a lifelong fan of Hirsh and his band New England, since seeing them open for KISS at Madison Square Garden in ’79. Imagine being 9 years old, it’s the first band you’re ever seeing at an arena show, and years later you’re playing guitar on the song you’re hearing…! I’m honored to have laid guitars on the song “Nothing To Fear,” you’ll hear it on his upcoming album, Nov 22nd release. Hirsh, I thank you, and that kid version of me you inspired at that show thanks you!”
