Blanc
Faces, headed by the brothers duo, Robbie and Brian La Blanc, are a new and
dynamic melodic rock group based in the U.S., (New York and Connecticut area). Their harmonies are unsurpassed and focal to their sound and
style. Robbie is lead vocalist and
plays rhythm guitar. Brian sings
background and plays the bass. They write, produce and engineer their own music,
with the help of a talented team of musicians and artists, including, on this
project, Kyle Woodring (Dennis DeYoung/Styx; Survivor; John Mellencamp) on drums,
with additional drum tracks by Tony Archer, Jeff Batter on keyboards, and Butch
Taylor on lead guitar. The CD is mixed by Dennis Ward (PC 69).
Robbie
and Brian started their career working with Rupert Holmes, a famous writer,
composer, lyricist and arranger. Then went on to record an album in the early
80's, produced by renowned lead singer and organist, Felix Cavaliere from the
famous group "Young Rascals". Their
video aired on MTV. They have also worked with, and received tremendous praise
from legendary producer and arranger, Arif Mardin (Bee Gees; Aretha Franklin;
Phil Collins; Hall & Oates; Norah Jones).
Throughout
their career, they have been involved with various projects including providing
background vocals on music involving “Toto” lead singer Bobby Kimball and
legendary singer Ronnie Spector. Robbie also performed live with Toto at a
recent concert in 2003. They have recorded original material at Michael Bolton
studios and also played guitar and sang background vocals on some of his demo
music. They have performed at many well-known venues in NYC and have been on
Television, most notably, the original Star Search, back in the 80’s. Coincidentally, Joseph Williams, a one-time lead singer for
Toto and also a Frontiers’ artist was on the very same show. Most recently
they opened up for Grammy winners, The Blind Boys of Alabama.
If
you are a fan of Journey, Foreigner and Survivor, you will love this recording!
