ABOUT:

While Greg Loiacono may be best known as a gritty rock and soul man from his work
with The Mother Hips and Chris Robinson, the singer who emerges on Giving It All
Away, his charismatic new solo album, is a far more sensitive storyteller, one whose
tender delivery and heartfelt lyrics lay it all on the line in the plainspoken poetry of
Bill Withers or The Everly Brothers. Inspired by the timeless canon of ’60s and ’70s
heartbreak tunes, the collection dives headfirst into the dichotomies of love, exploring
happiness, heartache, redemption, and regret, all with great insight and empathy.
Loiacono worked with an all-star crew on the album—including producer Scott Hirsch
(Hiss Golden Messenger, William Tyler), drummer Michael Urbano (Sheryl Crow, John
Hiatt), organist Danny Eisenberg (Counting Crows, Jonathan Richman), singer Vicki
Randle (Aretha Franklin, Mavis Staples), and Widespread Panic’s Dave Schools on
bass—and pushed himself beyond his comfort zone, embracing his falsetto singing
voice and writing with deep vulnerability. The result is a warm and inviting meditation
on love and loss, a gently aching work of hope and resilience that insists on finding the
beauty in loss.

“When your heart breaks, it also opens up,” says Loiacono. “It’s easy to be afraid of
getting hurt, but sometimes you need that pain to make room for growth and joy.
Sometimes you need to let go in order to figure out what’s worth holding onto.”

Sometimes you’ve got to give it all away.
