DOMAIN RECORDS RELEASES GARY GENE BOLTONS DEBUT CD

Whatever Happened To Main Street?" Thats the kind of question that stops people cold, unlocking the door to any number of profound memories and contemplations. For Kansas-born singer/songwriter Gary Gene Bolton, the question is a highly conscientious thread that runs like a crystal winding stream through the eleven original compositions of his Domain Records debut, Whatever Happened to Main Street.

Like most albums in country/pop music, there are plenty of songs about the ups and downs of love on Whatever Happened To Main Street. The two songs most likely to catapult him into the realm of Lionel Richies and Kenny Rogers successes are the heart-on-sleeve love songs Love Of My Life" and the Willie Nelson-esque Youre The Only Beautiful Woman In The World," the kinds of sentiments anyone in love longs to hear. And in Gary, they get them with a voice and a poetry they can feel and believe.

As his industry peer Steve Triolo proudly assesses, Gary Gene Bolton offers a soulful, melancholy flavor which descends into the absolute corner of everyones heart."

Whatever Happened to Main Street on Tony Sepes Domain Records label, features arrangements by keyboardist Herman Jackson (whose credits include Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston and James Ingram). The album showcases Garys vocals and songs supported by some of L.A.s finest and most versatile musicians: drummers Rayford Griffin and Gary Mallaber, violinists Karen Briggs and Chas Waltz, guitarists Bart Davis, Dean Pleasants and Kamil Rustam, pedal steel player Rich Weiss, bassists Del Atkins and Ron DiBuccio, wood flautist Jim Radon, and singers Donna Cristy, Kirstin Ashe and Ashley McCarthy.

Summing up his life and career thus far, Gary shrugs, Ive had lots of experience both living and in music. All Im doing is combining the two. I believe Ive developed a good sense about what feels good and right within a song."

The CDs target demographic includes the adult contemporary, country, pop and americana consumer.
