“SOUL CASINO” FEATURES GUEST VOCALIST BRITTANY HOWARD OF THE ALABAMA SHAKES
Nashville, Tenn.— Australian roots rock artist Turk Tresize will release his debut album Soul Casino on October 15. A follow-up to his EP Miles ‘N’ Miles, Soul Casino was produced by Andrija Tokic (Bomb Shelter – Nashville, Alabama Shakes) and features guest-backing vocals on several tracks from the lead singer of the Alabama Shakes, Brittany Howard.
“Close your eyes, go back 30 years, then add a bit of today and a whole lot of soul. You have Turk,” said Stuart Ward, Randy Houser’s Production Manager/FOH.
In support of the album, Tresize will embark on a U.S. tour, which kicks off at the Token Lounge in Westland, Michigan on October 17 and finishes at Whiskey a Go Go in West Hollywood, CA on November 8. Tresize will be joined by Nashville-based blues/rock band The Graysmiths on several of the dates.
Giving a promising look into Tresize’s future as an artist, the album is a compilation of bluesy rock tunes that emphasize Tresize’s edgy sound, raw vocals, strong ability for storytelling and profound approach to themes about the tumultuousness of life. Although Tresize cites many musical and songwriting influences ranging from Chris Cornell to Hank Williams, Jr., he avoids being pigeonholed. He has truly created a sound that is pure ‘Turk.’
“Turk brings the thunder from down under. He’s the real deal,” stated Kenny Olson, Multi-Platinum lead guitarist and founding member of Kid Rock’s Twisted Brown Trucker Band.
