notes

Singer-songwriter-pianist-producer Gentry Bronson has been compared to Tom Waits, Tori Amos, Ryan Adams, David Gray, Billy Joel and Nick Cave, but throughout his career, Gentry has continued to be completely original, proving himself as a pop craftsman, composer and showman.

Gentry began playing piano at age 5, won several Minnesota Music Teachers Association awards for piano performance by junior high school, started singing in his first garage band at age 15, and moved to the US West coast a week after his 18th birthday. He tried his hand at avante garde jazz, spoken word, and DJing, before returning to what he knew best: telling a story with music and laying everything on the line while on stage.

In 2000, he won three Northern California Songwriters Association awards. Then, in 2001, Gentry put together a group of musicians and founded the Night Watchmen, a band that combined the late night worlds of rock, pop, jazz, and cabaret. The group developed a wide reaching group of fans, but in 2005 he retired the band.

Driven by an indie ethic, Gentry has released seven records since 2001. This new solo album “No War" was co-produced in Northern California by Gentry and Scott Llamas (Deflator Mouse, Tragedy Andy). He calls "No War" his Star Wars trilogy record.

Gentry has performed around the world and is not slowing down. His dramatic and soulful performances continue to receive rave reviews. And his varied music releases cross over many boundaries, building fans in the rock, pop, folk, jazz, blues, ambient and new age genres.

Gentry's other CDs, all available through CDBaby, include:

  • Excellent CD
    author: Kevin

    Very good CD, a couple tracks not up to par with the rest of the album, but overall a great CD

  • Fabulous musician getting down to business...
    author: Kimrose

    Pure talent revealed in this pleasurable cd. My first exposure to Gentry and what a find! First of all, you have one awesome song after another, then there's the piano to-die-for, and he has a killer voice taking apart your heart and psyche with fantastic lyrics (and he's such a cutie too!). What more can you ask for in an artist and performer? I certainly will be checking out his other cds and can't wait to see him perform live! Lucky me, I live in Northern CA...

  • Bronson rocks . . . again and more!
    author: Liam Bowler

    Gentry rocks it again, with soft melodies, hard edges and great pop hooks. This CD makes me want to cry in my beer, drive a fast car and save the world all at the same time. No War, baby.

    Gentry Bronson has over the years, been compared to many great artists. It's about bloody time people stop doing that. It doesn't do him right actually, because Gentry is Gentry all the way. He just cannot be compared to anyone because he is genuinely unique in the way he expresses his self-written meaningful and often heartbreaking lyrics based on his experiences, his tales of life. The moment you hear Gentry sing and/or play, your ears will perk, you become silent and just want to listen. Gentry's music cuts, and it cuts deep. Especially during live performances he's able to connect like no other with this source of creation, and moreover he's able to bring it across to his audience. You get totally enwrapped by his vibes and his music and cannot but be in great awe. You cannot but be touched deep... deep in your heart and soul. This latest album is again a marvel, another undeniable bright shining jewel in his crown. Another beautiful child that has seen the light of day, and who will be graciously embraced by many, all over the world... that much I know for sure. Just bring it on and keep us resonating with utmost pleasure, with what you've got!
