“A gentle tale of breakup, over highlighted, ethereal marimba, shakers and even handclaps in the mix.  It’s a stirring percussive ensemble, over moving vocals and guitar, and an enticing harbinger of the upcoming EP.” – Americana Highways (LINK)

 ‘We've Got A Runner’ was a song I wrote after college after a break up. I recorded it in my room and posted a demo version in 2015, but always wanted to resurrect it in a studio. It’s a breakup song, and since it went with the theme of the EP – love songs meant for those who had fallen out of love – I decided to rerecord it this year.” - Gregory Ackerman

Inspired thematically by the 24-hour news cycle and structurally by Agatha Christie’s landmark 1939 novel ‘And Then There Were None,’ “Ten Little Indians/And Then There Were None (State Of The Union)” recounts troubling issues of the day — like “nine reasons not to handle a gun” and “eight people dead in a bar” — over hypnotic guitar and eerie, increasingly chaotic backing vocals.” – American Songwriter (LINK)

Gregory Ackerman | About

Los Angeles area-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Gregory Ackerman was recently named a Top 10 Finalist in the International Songwriting Competition (out of nearly 20,000 submissions.) Ackerman’s song “Ten Little Indians/And Then There Were None,” taken from his 2019 Munich Records (est. 1972 in the Netherlands and now a division of V2 Records) album And Friends, is the tune bestowed with the honor. Listen to it via American Songwriter here.

With his 2018 music continuing to be noticed, Ackerman is now prepping new releases for 2019. A new Ackerman tune “Cooler Heads,” written with long-time friend and collaborator Keenan McDaniel, is just out, and Birp! (birp.fm), which included the cut on its June 2019 playlist, will also be including the Ackerman song “Painkillers & Steroids,” taken from Ackerman’s late-2018 The Demo Years compilation, as part of its ongoing vinyl series.

All of this activity leads into Ackerman’s next release for Munich Records, an all-new four-song EP entitled “Stresslove,” set to arrive on October 4th, 2019, with its initial single “We’ve Got A Runner” out now. As with And Friends, the “Stresslove” EP is once again produced by Rilo Kiley bassist, Pierre de Reeder.
