New Album

Off the Rack LIVE
 

Pete Vance & Mark Pradella

Hal Chandler

I am so grateful that my partner Lorraine Hatch asked “Pete, why don’t you do your own show”?

 

10 years ago I launched my debut album ‘The Truth’ at the BJC with the inspiring and passionate guidance of Ingrid James and Andy Vance.

 

I asked Mark Pradella about doing a gig and recording together as I love performing with Mark and his band. The Mark Pradella Band’s high-energy and cool-vibe truly engaged and entertained the BJC audience with their on-stage antics and show stopping arrangements.

 

My original song ‘Rack of Life’ became one of our favourites and as it reflects a life changing moment for me on my blind-bipolar journey, ‘Off the Rack - LIVE’ emerged as the album title.

 

My special thanks go to Mark Smith (recording @RealProductions.biz), Michelle Gonsal (artwork @mishphotography.com) and the Mark Pradella Band (mc_prad@hotmail.com) for their amazing work on this album.

Such an honour to be working with Mark Smith, Peter Vance and the band on this musical journey.

 

I have always loved the energy and excitement of live recordings. And here we are  'Off the Rack'. The combination of a live gig with each band member giving everything and an enthusiastic audience pushing the band.

 

Here it is, capturing the fun, groove and creativity of everyone who was there. Live and as it was on the night.
