“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.
