Gaston Light on The Jimmy Star Show

Gaston Light will be a featured guest on The Jimmy Star Show live radio show hosted by King of Cool, Jimmy Star along with his Cool Crowd of cohosts to discuss his new debut album Peel. The Jimmy Star Show is radio’s newest hit show, featuring the coolest in music, entertainment, fashion and pop culture, all from a fun industry insider perspective in a completely live, unedited fast-paced two-hour conversational format.

Gaston Light is a twenty-two year old Texas recording artist with a new, remarkable, debut album entitled Peel. Rooted in the blood, sweat and tears of heartland Americana, the ten-song opus conjures a warm feeling of familiarity while forging an evolutionary path. Gaston Light surmises, “Peel is intended to portray the melting pot that comprises the heart and soul of American Rock & Roll.”

From the very first listen, songs such as In A Casket, Radio King, and Xanax Blues evoke a feeling of a freewheeling road trip along Highway 66 to the classic FM strains of Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, Dire Straits, Tom Waits, David Gilmour, Warren Zevon and The Eagles while repeated listens reveal flourishes of folk, blues, soul, gospel, rockabilly, honky-tonk and Western.

Much akin to the sojourner of the 60’s, Gaston Light vulnerably explores his personal journey, for better or worse. Plagued with economic hurdles and addiction, songs such as Half Awake and Kiss the Hive explore the darker side of his excursion while Close Your Good Eye and Crown offer moral glimpses into the harsh, unalterable reality that “coming of age” presents when facing the varying tones of life.

Written and recorded on a limited budget in a mere two weeks in a converted garage in Venice, CA, the nature of the situation added a punk rock ethos to the aural proceedings and, ultimately, required several “first takes” to be used on the Master recording. This underlying sense of urgency recalls the lightning-in-a-bottle nature of The John Peel Sessions, whereby four tracks were recorded and mixed in a single day for later broadcast on the iconic BBC Radio show. As such, both Gaston Light’s Peel and The Peel Sessions share a common lineage, that of a rough and ready, demo-like feel, somewhere between an impassioned live performance and a finished recording.

The moniker Gaston Light serves as the musical alias for Jason Corcoran, and bore itself out of Corcoran’s tumultuous and, ultimately, redemptive journey. It’s a nod to Gaston Avenue in east Dallas, which, coincidentally, is home to his label Idol Records and serves as a written commandment for his enlightened spiritual passage.

The Jimmy Star Show is pleased to showcase the talent and expertise of Gaston Light, and all anticipate a fun and informative time talking with him about the art and entertainment industries, and the world. Join King of Cool Jimmy Star, Diva of Cool Drew Albright, Cool Man about Town Alex Blacke and Cool Haunted One Woody Meckes as they have a playful and sometimes wild time with the talented featured guest!  You’ll also hear ideas for a fun and successful life from Bright Life with Dr. Drew Albright, the latest celebrity gossip from Blacke Backstage, horror news from Fright Asylum with Woody Meckes, and fabulous fan questions from Star Mail and the live online radio chatroom!
