New music can come from anywhere…even four middle-aged guys. Meet A Doll’s House.

In the late 80’s, two teenagers started writing songs in L.A. They started a band and played all the clubs, The Whiskey, The Roxy, The Troubadour, etc. They built a bit of a following and did well. But not well enough. Life took over and the party ended. They were barely 22.

Thirty years later, those same guys are in their 50s with careers, kids, mortgages — the whole deal. Bucking the odds, they set out to make an album. The gods smiled when they met Brian Wheat, a seasoned producer, perhaps best known as the bass player and co-founder of Tesla – a band that has charted multiple hits, sold millions of albums and is still going strong.

Brian listened to the songs and decided to take charge of the album himself – arranging, recording and mixing at his J Street Recorders studio in Sacramento, CA. The result is A Doll’s House first album: Annum. An album 30 years in the making. The debut single released this past Fall, Hey Wait, is emblematic of the band’s “Chill Rock” sound, blending groove with sticky melody and true musicianship and was received well at Triple A radio. Over Easy the latest single is at radio now.  Annum was released on February 16th.
