Биография

With his charismatic new album, Giving It All Away (Blue Rose Music), Loiacono dives headfirst into the dichotomies of love, exploring happiness and heartache and redemption and regret, all with great insight and empathy. The songs here are warm and inviting, even as they grapple with longing and loneliness, and the performances are similarly resilient, insisting on hope and perseverance at every turn. While most listeners may know Loiacono as a gritty rock and soul man from his work with The Mother Hips and Chris Robinson, the singer who emerges here is a far more sensitive storyteller, one whose tender delivery and heartfelt lyrics lay it all on the line in the plainspoken poetry of Bill Withers or The Everly Brothers. It’d be easy to call the album a departure for the famed California songwriter, but in truth, it’s really just another step on a long road of self-discovery. 
 “Going into this record, I thought I might have to tap into some sort of alternate personality because I was singing and writing in a new way,” says Loiacono. “But as I got into it, I realized that it was all very real for me. This music was inside of me all along.”
