Just released in 2011, “Gregg Rolie – Five Days” is Gregg’s latest EP/CD consisting of 6 songs with Gregg playing acoustic piano and singing live. He recorded these tracks in his living room on the piano given to him by his father in the early days of Santana, and as Gregg says, “it’s from my house to yours” He gives beautiful new renditions of 2 classic hits that he sang as the lead singer in Santana – “Black Magic Woman” and Journey – “Anytime” – as well as 4 new songs, his own compositions through solo voice and piano. Recently featured on the cover of the UK’s Keyboard Player magazine, Rolie is a renowned Hammond B3 player, celebrated for his gritty and intense performances.
