BREAKOUT

Buddy Bloom’s debut solo album, Breakout, is a masterful ode to the Jersey sound, breathing new life into songs born years ago. Bloom transcends time with a refined finesse, casting a fresh spell over his storied compositions. Each track is a living tapestry, woven from real-life tales spun into poetic anthems of music excellence. On this sonic journey, Bloom’s prowess shines as he curates a multi-instrumental feast, playing bass, guitar, drums, harmonica, and percussion with palpable passion.

A harmonious partnership unfolds with guitarist Gabe Salas, whose strings compliments Bloom’s vocal melodies, crafting an ethereal blend of sound. The air is enriched with the sultry saxophone of Andy Tummino, infusing each note with the rich heritage of the North Jersey scene. Joe Barone steps in, his backing vocals a fresh gust of youthful vigor, providing an unexpected twist to the classic soundscape. Bob Magnuson, brass virtuoso, adds his signature performances as he did for many others such as Paul McCartney, Whitney Houston, and Alicia Keys. Championing the technical helm is Steve Schwartz, cultivating a seamless auditory experience.

Breakout is more than an album; it is a heartfelt testament to Bloom’s dedication, a mélange of past and present wrapped in artistry and rich emotional depth. This collection of songs weaves an intricate quilt of nostalgia and innovation that ignites a passion for music in its purest form.
