The Gemini Affair
You’re Perfect/ A Whisper To A Moan
“The members of Seattle’s The Gemini Affair are not only incredible musicians, but they are dear friends of mine. I’ve been fortunate to share the stage with Jeff Rouse & Keith Ash countless times, and I’m stoked to release a single with them! The songs You’re Perfect and A Whisper To A Moan exhitibt a modern take on their classic rock influences! Enjoy the songs and look for them live sometime down the road!” -Mike McCready
The Kolars
Echo Chamber/ Who Owns Your Rights
“The two songs on the 2nd HockeyTalkter single from Kolars were recording pre-pandemic, but somehow ring true in today’s landscape. Echo Chamber & Who Owns Your Rights show the versatility of this great band. I can’t wait to see them live again!” – Mike McCready
Mike McCready w/ Molly Sides & Whitney Petty from Thunderpussy
Show Your Colors/ Shuffle Your Feet
“I love collaborating with the women in Thunderpussy and these songs are no different. I was fortunate to score the film for the amazing film SADIE that was released last year. I asked Molly Sides to help with some vocals and she did an incredible job with both Show Your Colors and Shuffle Your Feet. Playing guitar with Whitney Petty is always a blast! These songs have been available digitally for some time, and now you can own it on limited edition vinyl!” -Mike McCready
