"...the instant hooks and melodies of Cheap Trick, with the Americana of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers..." 
-Screamer Magazine

From the Americana-leaning tendencies of early efforts, to the full-blown Rock swagger of their recent works, The Great Affairs have never been afraid to shake things up a bit, letting the songs lead the way rather than a concerning themselves with adhering to any specific genre. This is readily apparent on their latest release ‘Sleepwalker’, a record where they slide right out of a piano-driven, ELO-esque Pop ballad, and into a greasy, slithering, Aerosmith-inspired riff without batting an eye. 

According to Co-Lead Vocalist Denny Smith - “Kenny brings the Bad Company & the Bon Scott, I bring the Cheap Trick & the Rick Springfield, and in the middle we meet.” It’s at this halfway point that the magic starts to happen. Capturing the alchemy once again is longtime Co-Producer Michael Saint-Leon, a 3-time Grammy Winner who has been tracking The Great Affairs at his Nashville, TN studio The Switchyard for over a decade. 

‘Sleepwalker’, their first full length album since 2020, features 10 tracks that showcase both a love of loud guitars & big drums, and an obvious knack for crafting hooks that stick.  

“This is a band who know exactly who they are and where they come from…. and therein lies their greatness.” -Melanie Henderson, Wildside Music
