Brian Senders

He made his way through the Wetlands in the 90's and has held the pocket for many New York groups since. He comes from a gang of musicians that include Mike Devellis,Jay Crosby and guitarist Joey K. to name a few. He will be the cement for The Brotherhood of the Grape on April 10th 2009 @ Mirelle's.

Danny Mulvanerty

2009-04-08T10:03:00.003-04:00

Devellis on Sax

2009-04-07T09:50:00.003-04:00

Mike Devellis is one dangerous horn player, he has been burning down club after club in NYC with his original funk outfit Drexler, fortunately for Me and you he is the horn player/violinist in The Brotherhood and will be live with us @ Mirelle's this Friday April 10th 2009

Zabrocki sits in

2009-03-30T10:16:00.003-04:00

Ron Zabrocki is a brilliant guitarist...forget all his other accomplishments in music, he is first a guitarist...and he is kind enough to lend his talent to The Brotherhood of the Grape on April 10th 2009 @ Mirelle's

If you don't know Terry Reid.....Get wind of this!

Terry Reid and Walker & The Brotherhood of the Grape

2009-03-01T10:35:00.002-05:00

When I was a teenager my brother John said "Hey kid...did you ever hear the album Bang Bang you are Terry Reid" it took a long time (before internet) to go from garage sale to garage sale...but I finally found a copy and I was hit by a hammer. Playing with Terry is an honor....plus he is a good guy.

Chris Cassidy

2009-02-20T10:27:00.004-05:00

Chris Cassidy is a great photographer and respected film-maker from NYC. We used to run in the same circles when Q-South was doing our thing in the 90's. Chris always managed to capture the heart and soul of the band.... check him out he has photographed some of the greatest musicians of the past 20 years...click his name and see.

Allman = Goodguy

2009-01-21T10:18:00.003-05:00

Years ago I sent my web address to the Allman Brothers Band website...they posted it in their "bands" section and since then I have received so many kind words by the devoted followers of The Greatest American Band. They show up at shows and buy my recordings in spite of the obvious difference in my music from theirs....I just want to say Thanks for all the good will......go check out the page http://www.allmanbrothersband.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Web_Links&file=index&req=MostPopular

America

2008-11-11T09:54:00.003-05:00

America is the greatest country on earth. We have given the world so much and asked little in return. I'll never understand the hatred for a country that has done so much for so many. This is Me and Earl he is an immigrant from Trinidad waiting to become a citizen and a great friend. We both come from humble beginnings, life has been a long bumpy road for us both but we are still smiling... America has given us opportunity to do our thing....that is all you can ask for.

Location Location

I met a band called Location Location from Utah at my local watering hole. The singer/songwriter Marcus Bently invited me to come see them perform @ The Canal Room. This 2 man group was original,inspiring and flat out good....future stars for sure. Salude gentleman it was nice to meet you both....

Halloween

2008-10-22T09:59:00.002-04:00

Ari-up A.K.A. Medusa from the pioneer punk group the Slits and Me have been talking about a collaboration. I don't know what will become of this but I know It will be fun.

Walker and Jus Bus meet

2008-10-16T10:33:00.003-04:00

(Me) Walker and producer Jus Bus who did "It's never too late" with Trevor Off-Key and Alison Hinds will meet tonight for the first time. It is not the first time I've worked with talent that I have never met, my introduction to Soca was a blind duet with Machel Montano, we didn't meet until 3 months after our first collaboration.....that worked out fine. I'm looking forward to meeting Jus. He is, in my opinion, the most original producer in music right now. He has relocated to NYC and I suggest all of my musical friends and contemporaries give his music a listen.

A Reason to Believe

2008-09-20T09:38:00.002-04:00

My inactivity has forced me to evaluate my career. My initial feeling was wow,I've accomplished nothing and I've really never recorded any music the way I've heard it in my head over the years. I've clung to things and gone through the motions of a performer in order to anesthetize my absence of expression....Then I thought.....Gary has it wrapped in a little package for everyone......I guess it's time to lock myself in a room and keep on fooling myself....and with the grace of God...someone else.

Musicians Wanted

2008-09-10T10:20:00.004-04:00

Well, I'm looking to put together a band that wants to do original material....Rock/R+B/Soca/Reggae anything that has cement grooves and can move people. The musicians from the past Brotherhood of the Grape bands are all involved in new and exciting projects...Symptom 7,Ace in the Hole,Drexler..etc...I'm not ready to start pimping myself out to cover bands to make money...so if you have guts and drive....let's go....and let your soul glow.

The setting sun

2008-08-27T10:57:00.004-04:00

The sun sets on my music. I used to pour wine into my head with blank men, failed men who remained unafraid in the dirty side streets of New York City......Now I'm just a colorless cut out of my potential......I think I'll vanish for a while....into Hemingway,Fante,Bukowski and a few hundred trips to the Racetrack....you can keep it...whatever the hell it is.

Nova

2008-08-20T11:40:00.004-04:00

I was watching T.V. last night and saw a documentary on The Planet of the Apes. I was a huge fan when I was a kid.....and man did I have a crush on actress Linda Harrison......I guess I still do...I'm writing about it.....can you blame me?

Mugger,Fred and Charlie

2008-08-09T10:35:00.005-04:00

"We are all here to go"...... and some, way too soon. This year we lost my cousin John "Mugger" Hornung and Fred Stelloh...who were two of the best guys in the whole world. They both we're icons in H.B. and their goodness and charity will be missed severely.....It is hard to imagine performing and not seeing one of them in the audience....they both we're the best kind of friend a guy could have....Charlie Munga (who died a few years back)...must have been lonely..Somewhere there are a bunch of classic cars being repaired and driven fast with "Metal" on the radio's cranked to 11!

42nd street and Broadway

2008-08-06T11:44:00.004-04:00

Here are a few pics from the NYC film award show in Times Square. Vinnie Stigma from Agnostic Front was on hand to give me my award for best original song in a feature film. I performed with Mike D and it was a good get together. Thaddeus got his award too. In spite of all this good stuff, I feel nuttier than squirrel shit.
