Gary Carl - The Whole Nine Yards (2019)

From 1992 - 2014, Gary played his hands in the World of Coverbandom in the groups Eternity, Jeffrey James Band, Tom and Gary Duo, Johnson, Brothers Capone, Inside Out, and other projects. Gary played Acoustic & Electric Guitars, Harmonica, Trumpet, Alto & Tenor Saxophone, Bass, sang Lead and Background Harmony Vocals, and did what he could to entertain from backyards and front porches to Restaurants, Dive Bars, Mobile Bandstands, Wedding Venues, and even at a prison for inmates.

His first taste of writing and recording came in February 1990 at SI Studios Scranton PA. After a few more years of playing in cover bands, and continuing writing Originals, he returned to SI Studios Old Forge PA in the Fall of 2008 with his Original Rock Project jakesway.

The song “No Part of Then” from the “Catching Wakefield” album was featured on the syndicated show “The Second Shift Show” for a full week as “Band of the Week” and broadcast on Froggy 101 in Scranton / Wilkes Barre PA as well as markets such as San Francisco, Portland, Nashville, and a few other major markets in 2010.

With 3 Full Length Albums in their Discography, the jakesway project was put on an indefinite hiatus for everyone involved to pursue different personal and professional interests.

With a newly rekindled passion for writing and recording, Gary Carl had sought out to complete his Debut Country Album "Off the Grid", which kicked off on Sept 13, 2016 with "Bagpipes and Elvis Tunes" and "Buck and Rumble" tracked.

Along with the talents of John "Chickie" Yanochik, Joe "Wiggy" Wegleski, Tom Borthwick, Lenny Mecca, Chris Condel, and Steve "Stove" Nelson, Gary Carl and crew completed the final mix and master of the album on February 23, 2017.
Sept. 7, 2017 began the recording of the 16 track "North Branch of Heaven" with Session #1 back at SI Studios Old Forge PA and was released July 2018.

Aug. 13, 2019 began the recording sessions of his 3rd Solo Album, “The Whole Nine Yards”, which will be due to be released December 2019.
