Steel Bars - A Rock Tribute To Michael Bolton

Release Date: 7 Jul 2023

‘Steel Bars - A Rock Tribute To Michael Bolton’ is a brand new collection of covers that pays tribute to the esteemed US singer and songwriter Michael Bolton, who recently turned 70. The first single from it entitled ‘Save Our Love’ features the highly touted Argentinian vocalist Santiago Ramonda of Stormwarning.

Focusing on Bolton's early career, when he was a hard rock singer (notably with Blackjack), the album also features appearances from members of The Big Deal, About Us, Girish And The Chronicles, Find Me, FM and more.

Record company boss, Serafino Perugino had the bright idea of pulling together a mix of new and established singers on his roster and have them pay tribute to a phase of Bolton’s career, of which he himself has always been particularly fond.

The album includes rising stars Ramonda, Girish Pradhan (Girish And The Chronicles), Dave Mikulskis (working with Jim Peterik), Sochan Kikon (About Us), Ana Nikolic (The Big Deal), Nevena Brankovic (The Big Deal), Stefan Nykvist (Sarayasign) and James Robledo (Sinner's Blood). They appear along with Steve Overland (FM), Gui Oliver (Landfall), Robbie LaBlanc (Find Me) and Ronnie Romero (Michael Schenker, Rainbow), each delivering their unique take on classic songs from Michael Bolton's rock era.

Tracklist 1. Everybody’s Crazy (Girish Pradhan) 2. Fools Game (Steve Overland) 3. How Can We Be Lovers (Dave Mikulskis) 4. Steel Bars (Sochan Kikon) 5.
