Gary Dranow | Rock + Blues Singer - Songwriter

THE JEREMIAH SHOW Featuring Gary Dranow | Rock + Blues Singer-Songwriter "Put music To Our Troubles, And we will Dance Them Away." Pete Ringmaster of The RingMaster Review, says of Gary Dranow: “It is fair to say that there is an adventuring spirit within Gary Dranow that is persistently looking for new possibilities and undertaking fresh adventures. The same can be said for Gary’s music and a creative craving that explores, evolves, and never stands still.” Gary Dranow is a former professional skier turned rock musician who competed in the National Standard Race from 1987 to 2010. Gary was ranked number one nationally in his age group as a professional skier and one of the top twenty men in NASCAR from the 2005 to 2010 seasons. He became a USSA-certified professional ski coach in 2004. Gary made his mark racing and as an instructor before founding the Modern Ski Racing Academy. Gary’s musical calling began at 11 when he heard “Crossroads” by Cream on the radio. The encounter with the song sparked a realization that he wanted to be a guitarist. That acknowledgment and intent were brought to life the following day, with his mother taking him to the Ernie Ball guitar shop. Within a year, he had started his first band, The New Invaderz. Gary is also a successful entrepreneur. He founded Spoiled Brats of California, a garment manufacturing company, and mortgage brokerage company First Manhattan Funding (FMF, Inc.). He developed and sold Cyborg Information Systems, a fully automated mortgage process software. It has been a journey in life as rich as Gary’s music within acclaimed releases such as his 2023 album, “Destiny Road,” a record themed by his experiences with Bipolar 1 Disorder, and his new EP, “Never Give Up.” The latter keenly relish the seeds of diversity within Gary’s American/blues rock-rooted sound, his songs openly embracing a variety of alternative and rock flavors within heart-bred contemplations. Across a host of other projects and collaborations with musicians such as guitarist Chris Zoupa from Australian progressive metallers Teramaze in their new EDM project "Astralix" and with Ukrainian singer-producer Klim Apalkov, Chris persistently pushes his boundaries and landscape of enterprise with “Never Give Up." It is a gratifying adventure for the creator and listener alike.
