Биография

Known mostly as half of the platinum-selling group America with co-founder Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley has recorded and released eight solo albums starting with Van Go Gan in 1995. He has been signed to indie Blue Élan Records since putting out Carousel on the label in 2016. His latest solo effort, Aurora, coming on the heels of last year’s greatest hits album, Keeping the Light On: The Best of Gerry Beckley, is at once a look back on some of his original influences – among them the triple Killer B’s of the Beatles, the Beach Boys, the Bee Gees, with Chicago thrown into the mix – as well as a fresh start, a clean slate moving forward. Recorded during the pandemic at Beckley’s two home studios in his dual bases of Sydney, Australia, and Venice, California, Aurora is an introspective album that takes stock of his life – past, present and future. Playing virtually all the instruments and producing (with Jeff Larson), Beckley shows off his skill at orchestral pop in the opening title track and closing “Tears,” which serve as both overture and reprise, bookends to a set of songs that range from the universal to the personal, sometimes in the same song (as on the cosmic romantic ballad “Aurora”).
