RIVERBOAT SKY

Description

Riverboat Sky is a collection of accessible songs written and tested by guitarist Carl Verheyen and his group of virtuoso musicians. Verheyen reflects on how he "learned a valuable lesson from all those years spent making records and touring with Supertramp. We always lamented that the album was a demo for the tour because the songs developed much more on the road. This time, I had the chance to play the music for a year and a half before recording it on CD and vinyl, so the songs feel much more fully realized. It was a recording of the luxurious music we all knew so well." This is reflected in the musicality heard on the album, which includes a masterful duet between Carl and Sophia James – of American Idol fame – on the title track Riverboat Sky. The supporting musicians are Verheyen's regular touring band - Dave Marotta (bass), John Mader (drums), and Troy Dexter (keyboards); complemented by Jim Cox, Alex Acuna, and Chad Wackerman.
