CD release party slated for Friday at Red Bike

Island musician and prolific songwriter Gregg Curry, together with his band Ragged Glory, teamed up with acclaimed island music engineer and producer Martin Feveyear to record a second album called “The Last Train.” The new CD will be released at a special party at 8:30 p.m. Friday at the Red Bike.

“The Last Train” is a paean to Curry’s deep roots of American music from soul and blues to rock, country, bluegrass and the gospel of his Southern youth. The 11-song album showcases Curry’s original tunes and the band —Rick Dahms on guitars and vocals, Michael David Marcus on bass and vocals, Emory Miedema-Boyajian on drums and Mike Nichols on harmonica — plus guest musicians Rebekah Kuzma, Dianne Krouse and Barry Cooper.

Tickets, at the door, are $10 or $15 with the CD included.
