Album Notes

Secret Gossip combines elements of jazz, funk, R&B, gospel, and rock music to satisfy your hankerin' for a hunk of southern fried funk. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, a town best known for honky tonks and the Grand Ole Opry, Secret Gossip’s unique sound brings to mind the phrase "one of these things is not like the other." 102.9 The Buzz has called them "the funkiest band in Nashville" and they have garnered the reputation of putting on one of the best shows in town.

The backbone of this all-out show band is made up of: Clint Parris (Nashville, TN) on lead vocals and keyboards, Jeff Collett (Nashville, TN) on bass and background vocals, Chris McElroy (Nashville, TN) on guitar and background vocals, and German Baratto (Puerto Rico) on drums. The Secret Gossip horn section adds to the funkiness with its hip lines: Chris Genovese (Richmond, VA) on saxophones, Courtenay Shipley (Pittsburgh, PA) on trumpet and background vocals, and Oscar Utterstrom (Uppsala, Sweden) on trombone.

When you are ready for something different, sink your teeth into this southern dish with all the fixins. Nashville has a fresh sound and it’s no secret – it’s Secret Gossip!
