Price

Price is the product of countless garages, basements, church dances, and battles of the band. Musical chops built the ‘analog way’ — long before the Internet and its instant star-making machinery. Influenced by the unlikely convergence of the British Invasion, MoTown, and the West Coast Folk-Rock sound, he evolved a musical style that eventually found a place in the emerging Street-Rock era of the late ‘70s. Bands like Springsteen, South Side Johnny, Elvis Costello and the like were providing an alternative to the dying Disco craze and the surging Hair Bands and Punk phenomenon.
Reaching back to his musical roots, Price built, Paradise Alley, a high-energy, 6-piece band that joined local groups like the J. Geils Band, Duke and the Drivers, and The Beaver Brown Band on the North East’s circuit of seaside clubs, colleges, and music venues, sharing the stage with acts such as Leslie West, Rick Derringer, and James Montgomery. Summer in the Streets, one of four Price-penned tracks released as the EP, ‘The Great Northern Sessions’, garnered the attention of radio stations and earned the band their first solid airplay.
There’s something about music and the people that make music that never quite lets them walk away. It calls to them. It pulls at them. For Price, this resurgence brought bona-fide Indie Rock with a stylistic breadth that openly pays homage to each of its ancestral roots — something that becomes evident to the listener as they move track-to-track.
