In an era where music is created virtually in bedrooms and basements, Synowiec Robinson Towne SRT is creating modern music the old fashioned way: live, together in the studio.

Session ace Andrew Synowiec, drumming legend John “J.R.” Robinson, and jazz phenom Mitch Towne have formed a power trio with one foot in the past and one foot in the future and their brand new album is entitled Vanguard Of Groove.

You may not know Andrew Synowiec by name, but chances are you’ve heard his Grammy-winning guitar playing. Andrew is a multi-faceted session musician with credits like The Who’s #1 album Who, the blockbuster film Frozen (including the infectious “Let It Go”), and countless commercial and indie projects.

World-renowned, Grammy-winning musician John “J.R.” Robinson is widely considered the most recorded drummer in history, playing on albums that have sold well over 500 million copies. He is the drummer on 20 number-one pop songs by artists such as Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie and Steve Winwood, and has been the drummer on more than 100 Grammy-winning tracks.

Mitch Towne is a Grammy-nominated keyboardist and touring musician. His ability to move seamlessly between diverse styles has made him a sought-after side-man with artists as varied as multi-platinum artists John “J.R.” Robinson and Aloe Blacc, jazz/R&B artist and Grammy-winning producer Terrace Martin.

The album opens on the fervently groovy TAL SHIA and the smooth funk of BURN THAT BRIDGE and they are backed by the lush R&B of LONG ROAD, the drum-fed grooves within GOIN’ UPTOWN, and then we get the guitar-hued rhythms of MR. C.T..
Along next is the organ-run beauty MEMORY LANE which is itself followed seamlessly by the laid back hipsway of ALTA VISTA, some funky organ work within LIQUID OFFICE, the recording rounding out all too soon with the soaringly euphoric THE ROYAL YOU, closing on the quietly rambunctious, yet always playful THE EXPERIENCE.
