PEPPER RYAN MUSIC RELEASED TODAY!

Readers of Pepper’s mystery-thriller series know that sometimes Pepper takes a break from chasing baddies to perform as a singer and musician. Have you ever wondered what Pepper sounds like as a singer, or wanted to hear a song that he performed in one of his books?

I was curious myself.

So I spent some time at Zippah Recording Studio in Boston during the pandemic with one goal: to bring some Pepper Ryan music to life. I wrote the lyrics and the original melodies, then worked with some amazing talent in the New England music community to improve the songs to a level that Pepper would be proud of. It was an intimidating experience for me, but wicked fun.

1000 thanks to Brian Charles, Paul Bohne, Annie Hoffman, Chris Anzalone, Jim Haggerty, Cody Nilsen, Houston Bernard, DJ Charles, Davina Yannetty and Tyler Simco–all among the brightest lights of New England’s rich music scene!

The final result is an EP album called CHERRY SUN with four country/pop songs. The first single, “Whatever Happened to You” is now live on Spotify and most music sites. Featuring Houston Bernard — what a voice!

Here is a sample, and if you like it, you can use the Spotify link to hear the whole song. Or listen wherever you love music!

And if you are moved to “Heart” or “Thumbs Up” or “Like” the song, I appreciate your support!
