We’ve been sitting on this session for a while – but only in anticipation of the release of Gabrial James‘ debut album. . .

Gabrial has been a staple of the Grand Rapids music scene for a number of years – playing regularly around the city. . .

We are VERY happy and proud of Gabrial James for something that’s been a long time coming – the release of ‘Around The Block’. . .hi5 buddy. . .

The big celebration goes down this upcoming Saturday – August 28th – @ Billy’s Lounge. . .

He’ll be surrounded by the very talented askmewhen and LVNMUZIQ. . .PLEASE come show your support and love. . .

You can also hear him perform live on WYCE‘s Local Resonance on Friday August 27th @ 11AM. . .Tune in @ 88.1 FM or online @ WYCE.org. . .

You can swing by Schuler Books and Vertigo Music to pick up your copy of the much anticipated CD. . .

If you are prone to purchasing digitally and/or can’t make the show – check out iTunes cdbaby or digstation – where it will be available starting Saturday the 28th of August. . .

The space. The book.

As you’ll notice – this session took place quite some time ago – when they were originally dubbed the ‘Winchester Sessions’. . .

This is the last one from that time period and is probably fitting as both Gabrial James and Halfway House have come a long way. . .
