Another powerful roots-rock CD from Hirstius. This record is a stripped down version of the Temporary Secret CD, released in 1997. It is just as potent....with observations that the songwriting is maturing.
Bio / Background
The people of New Orleans have always been surrounded by music, especially Gary Hirstius. Besides the natural influence of being born and raised in a city so rich in musical heritage and style, his father is a trumpet player in the real-deal Storyville Dixieland Jazz Band. There were always combinations of guitar, trumpets, and drums lying around the house and at age 14, Gary started to gig with his guitar. By 17 he was playing on Bourbon Street, holding musical residence at the world famous strip club Big Daddy's. It wasn't long before Gary found himself playing what he calls the "Bayou Circuit," the small cities and towns of the swampy and wild Cajun country south of New Orleans.
It is an easy and characteristic process to become jaded with such consistent playing and it didn't take long for Gary to realize he needed something else to happen, something new. An ex-cop cousin who was employed as a detective gave Gary an introduction to the alternative that he sought.
