Tremonti’s Sixth Album Coming January 2025
Creed and Alter Bridge guitarist/songwriter Mark Tremonti was recently interviewed on Cutter’s RockCast and confirmed that he’s done recording his sixth album from his solo band, Tremonti. “We have a record mastered, ready to go. We have the album artwork done. (It’s) mixed (and) mastered. It comes out January 9th.”
Tremonti’s last solo album, “Marching In Time”, was released in September ’21. It was produced by longtime friend and collaborator, Michael “Elvis” Baskette. Mark has worked with him exclusively since 2007.
When he released “Marching In Time”, Mark told American Songwriter that he had completed 18 songs for the album but ended up cutting six songs.
“We had to whittle it down and get rid of some songs, which is always terrible. It’s like losing your children. These are things you’ve worked on and developed an emotional relationship to… Usually, you’ll leave them a little looser so you have some kind of push or pull in the studio, but this time these songs were airtight before we hit the studio.”
Tremonti said he kept his vocals sharp for “Marching In Time” by singing to Frank Sinatra albums. “I’m serious. When I’m making these solo records, I’m singing above my vocal range, and I’m having to push. I think people like to hear that desperation in your voice when you’re trying to hit a note. But when I sing Sinatra stuff, his vocal range is my vocal range. I can practice my pitch, my vibrato, my control, my phrasing, my pronunciation. Sinatra is probably my favorite singer of all time.”
What a talented musician! Fan of all of Mark’s work and can’t wait to hear a new album.
