Graeme Edge of the Moody Blues, turned 69 yesterday, his neighbor Steve Corliss Bryant in the studio…

Happy Birthday to Moody Blues member, Graeme Edge, who turned 69 yesterday. He is best known as the drummer and songwriter for the Moody Blues, but has also led his own outfit, “The Graeme Edge Band.”

Graeme’s neighbor, Steve Corliss Bryant (pictured below) was in the studio working on a brand new album “The American.” Steve collaborated with Frankie Urzetta and Kurt Johnston. The new album is a collection of all original songs “40 years in the making” Steve says, “It was a thrill to meet Kurt and Frankie. I love the studio, this was my first time at Eclipse.” His new album will be featured on the Eclipse Online Store soon…
