Stockfisch Records Eugene Ruffolo/Dennis Kolen/Shan

"THE GREATER GOOD"

Eugene Ruffolo growing up outside of New York City, his fabulously intense musicality is reminiscent of many a great artist, notably Marc Cohn.

Dennis Kolen, a young singer/songwriter from Rotterdam/The Netherlands; his influences came from the protagonists of the West Coast Music in the seventies: The Eagles, Poco, Crosby, Stills & Nash …

Completing the trio Shane Alexander joyned: the Los Angeles based solo artist says, "My goal has always been to write music that connects on a spiritual level, the way classic writers like Neil Young, Paul Simon, and Bruce Springsteen do." In addition to his own runs in the U.S., Canada, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, France, and Belgium, Shane Alexander performed for the biggest audiences of his career when he opened SEAL’s U.S. tour in 2008.

Without much ado and preliminaries, the three musicians meet at the Stockfisch studio in Northeim and give their creativity and expertise free reign. Et voilà: what has something of the character of a reunion of old friends turns out to a must-hear, not only for those who know and appreciate the solo productions of Ruffolo and Kolen.
