Biography

Early Times & the High Rollers will release their new album Electric City on Friday, May 6 2022 on Dealer's Choice Records. The album features 11 original songs and is the follow up to their 2021 album The Corner. The album features Early Times on guitar and vocals along with drummer Anton Fig (Late Night w/ David Letterman, Kiss, Cyndi Lauper, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Paul Butterfield, Mick Jagger); keyboardist Brian Mitchell (Levon Helm, Bob Dylan, BB King, Dolly Parton, Little Feat); and bassist Conrad Korsch (Rod Stewart, Cyndi Lauper). Famed recording engineer Jay Messina (Aerosmith, Kiss, Miles Davis, Cheap Trick) produced the album.

Early Times’ songs combine street-wise lyrics, tough urban rhythms, and the acumen of a seasoned guitarist who understand what to play and what to leave out. He was once crowned Best Guitarist in his hometown Sacramento’s music awards. He has toured the US and Europe and is known nationally as a radio host on satellite radio.

Electric City also features guest vocals by 2-time Grammy® winner and soul/blues legend Bobby Rush as well as a duet with Detroit soulstress Eliza Neals. Early Times wrote all the songs on the album. The previous album The Corner produced 4 songs that received national airplay in heavy rotation and Electric City looks to expand upon that momentum.
