Gerald Stephens--Cycles
In July of 2013, after many years as sideman and musical colloborator (see Bio for details), Gerald released Cycles, his first ever album as a leader, and the first complete album consisting solely of his own compositions. Many of Memphis' finest musicians are featured in several combinations to fully realize Gerald's music.
