Lou Gramm, Released was released on March 27, 2026. "On Friday (March 27), Gramm releases what he says will be a third and final solo album; Released is a self-produced collection of 10 songs from his vaults, which were in various stages of completion before they were worked on for this set. He’ll be doing dates with his own band to support it as well as some special guest appearances with Foreigner. And then, he says, he’ll be a juke box hero no more."

Pat Bianchi, Confluence was released on February 20, 2026. "This record feels destined to be timeless. Though unmistakably modern, it possesses the enduring quality of great acoustic albums, music built to travel across decades, earning the respect of listeners who will inevitably draw inspiration from its craftsmanship. It is beautiful, elegant, majestic, inventive, and quite literally exhilarating. More than that, it stands as a quiet manifesto for the future of the jazz organ trio: a reminder that innovation does not require abandoning tradition, but rather reimagining it with courage and intelligence. This is an album to be savored slowly, ideally among friends, and one that will continue to resonate long after the final notes fade." You can read the rest of the review here...
