“I Got a Line in New York City” is another exciting advance track from GUNHILL ROAD’s forthcoming fifth album. The song is a genre-bending combination of jazz, rock and blues with a Broadway flair. Further energized by its provocative music video, “I Got a Line in New York City” is slightly abstract and even mystical – while, simultaneously, heart-tugging and down-to-earth. The engaging narrative puts a new twist on the classic story of a young person with dreams of making it on the stage facing the cold, harsh reality of the big time. The visual images that bring stunning dimension to the video were created by human artists tapping into the assistance of leading-edge generative AI.
The current core of GUNHILL ROAD includes four principals: co-founder, Steve Goldrich (piano, vocals, writing); longtime member, Paul Reisch (guitar, vocals, writing); veteran Broadway instrumentalist, Brian Koonin (guitar, vocals, writing); and radio legend, Michael Harrison (vocals, writing). Powerful horns, percussion and a wide array of assorted backup instruments are provided by some of the nation’s most talented studio musicians and concert performers. The “I Got a Line in New York City” video was edited and produced by Matthew B. Harrison.
GUNHILL ROAD has been writing and recording a wide variety of songs contained in four albums (with a fifth brewing) since the late-sixties, including the 1973 top 40 hit single, “Back When My Hair Was Short.” Their recent single, “Idiots,” released in 2022, proved to be an internet and talk media standout. The group’s colorful history was the subject of a 2017 feature film documentary titled “Every 40 Years.” Formed in Mount Vernon, New York by Steve Goldrich and Glenn Leopold and named after an iconic street in the Bronx, GUNHILL ROAD has grown through several musical and personnel chapters for more than a half century and is still going strong to the delight of its dedicated fan base. An FM progressive rock radio favorite in the early 70s, GUNHILL ROAD has evolved into a modern musical organization with an eclectic internet following – continually writing new music and exploring a wide variety of genres. GUNHILL ROAD songs address such compelling themes as relationships, aging, politics, animal welfare, education and personal loss. …...more
