New Guitar Summit Gives You Shivers On New CD Out On July 8, 2008

Edmonton, Canada (Top40 Charts/ Stony Plain Music) - The critically-acclaimed New Guitar Summit's self-titled first CD and DVD, Live from Stoneham Theatre were both released by Stony Plain in 2004. The three New England-based guitarists first began performing together in 1997, with one of their highlights coming that year when they joined the Woody Herman Orchestra as special guests in front of 5,000 fans at City Hall Plaza in Boston..

On Shivers, the three guitarists come together again to play a rousing set of vintage jazz and blues music, the kind that inspired each player to become the masters of their instruments. In addition to the two Mose Allison tunes, the band covers such classics as 'Flying Home,' 'Honey Suckle Rose,' 'Broadway' and the title track, written by Charlie Christian and Lionel Hampton. The band also adds a jumping arrangement on the early rock 'n' roll/R&B chestnut, 'Little Bitty Pretty One,' plus four original songs.

'It's about amazing communication, the three of us really like and respect each other,' says Gerry Beaudoin in the album's liner notes. 'Jay and I play together every month and come up with different sets of material, and when Duke, who is so busy, gets together with us, it really is like falling off a log.'

Randy Bachman became involved in the project after he and Gerry Beaudoin met. 'Randy and I crossed paths when I was selling some vintage guitars and we hit it off,' remembers Beaudoin. 'When we were on our tour of Canada, we were able to record with him. Holger (Petersen) from Stony Plain Records and I both thought the two Mose tunes would be a good fit,' he adds.
Shivers was produced by Jay Geils and recorded primarily at WellSpring Sound in Acton, Massachusetts with Timm Kelleher engineering
