John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band are back with their first new album in 37 years. According to a press release the album, titled Sound of Waves, almost didn't happen but Bruce Springsteen encouraged Cafferty to write it.
“The ‘Sound of Waves’ album is a celebration of a lifetime legacy as musicians and 50+ years as a band," Cafferty said in a statement. "The songs are newly written with a respectful reflection of colors from an era of music’s diverse history and the precious life moments and loving relationships that have served as our hearts’ inspiration."
Cafferty is joined by two other original members: guitarist Gary Gramolini and saxophonist Michael “Tunes” Antunes. Together they'll be touring with Rick Springfield later this spring. Sound of Waves is slated for an April 10 release. Listen to its lead single "Day in the Sun" and see a full list of Cafferty's tour dates with Springfield below.
