The Great Affairs are an American rock band based in Nashville, TN.
Biography[edit]
From the Americana-leaning tendencies of early efforts, to the full-blown Rock swaggerof their recent works, The Great Affairs have never been afraid to shake things up a bit,letting the songs lead the way rather than a concern for adhering to any specific genre.This is readily apparent on their latest release ‘Sleepwalker’, a record where they slideright out of a piano-driven, ELO-esque Pop ballad, and into a greasy, slithering,Aerosmith-inspired riff without batting an eye.
According to co-Lead Vocalist Denny Smith - “Kenny brings the Bad Company & theBon Scott, I bring the Cheap Trick & the Rick Springfield, and in the middle we meet.”It’s at this halfway point, at this elemental summit, where the magic starts to happen.Capturing this alchemy once again is longtime Co-Producer Michael Saint-Leon, a two-time Grammy Winner who has been tracking The Great Affairs at his Nashville, TN studio The Switchyard for over a decade
The followup to 2020’s ‘Everybody Moves, Nobody Gets Hurt’, ’Sleepwalker’ arrives onFriday, October 13th, featuring 10 tracks that showcase both a love of loud guitars & bigdrums, and an obvious knack for crafting hooks that are hard to shake.
The band plan to spend the remainder of 2023, and the bulk of 2024 promoting the new LP with live dates, as well as releasing videos for “When Love Is The Drug” & “Stevie”,the next two singles.
The Great Affairs are Denny Smith (formerly of Best of Seven and Former) on guitar/vocals, Kenny Wright ( formerly of Bonepony) on drums/vocals, Corey Rozzoni (formerly of Burden Brothers and Adalene) on guitar, and Matt Andersen on bass guitar.
