  Short Bio


Walt Cronin collaborated with his former, fellow songwriter, on their debut CD "The Gousters" in 2005. It remained in the top 50 alternative country category on Roots Music Report for 60 weeks. Walt is a former navy corpsman (medic) that served with a marine platoon in Vietnam in 1970. His songs are memoirs of the heartache of war and it's aftermath with a beautiful love ballad thrown into the mix. Staying true to the folk history of societal woes with some bright new tunes finish off this eclectic blend of strong lyrical content and melodies.

Since the release of their debut album ‘The Gousters” in 2005, Walt Cronin has continued to compose, on his own. This CD written and sung by Cronin has many of the elements of the first CD. “ It is definitely in the folk americana tradition,” says Marty Beal, the producer and arranger of Walt’s CD from the Racketroom in Santa Ana, CA where all the recordings took place. 
   
Marty wore many hats in this musical composition playing most of the instruments all the while, enhancing Walt’s creative style with musical expertise. Walt, the singer / songwriter on this, his self-titled CD has brought to light his own heartfelt melodies which are the result of many influences from sixties musings with a contemporary folk rock feel. 

Thanks For Listening,

Walt ]]></description>

            <title>Vietnam Vet &amp; Punk Rocker hit # 35 on Roots Music Report</title>
            <link>http://www.unsignedbandweb.com/music/bands/7181</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Dear Editor: I am writing to talk about something that doesn't happen often in the music business. Our band "The Gousters" has hit the Top 50 Indie chart ( Roots Music Report ) on four occasions in the last month or so. We have no label and no money from anyone promoting us. RunningTimes Music commented: "It's almost unheard of but we hope this is an indicator of how indies are being taken more seriously." I will post below the info re: our recent promo. I'm a Vietnam Vet with 100% service-connected PTSD and my writing partner is a well known musician named Zander Schloss, bass player for "The Circle Jerks," one of L.A.'s founding punk bands still touring. Thank you for your possible interest. We would kindly request the possibility of interest on your part for a label, a review or airplay.
 
Sincerely,
Walt Cronin
"The Gousters"

 Hi Folks: My name is Walt Cronin. Our band hit # 35 on Roots Music Report 
3-29-06 
( Roots/Americana Country ) no small feat and without a label ! Everyone else on the chart has a label promoting them but we must have come thru the back door ! No money behind us, just a demo CD. We're looking for a label, a  review or more airplay. All the music was written by Zander Schloss, bass player of "The Circle Jerks" and myself. Please check us out for yourselves. Please excuse my request for a shameless plug :-) or please forward to somebody you think might like reading about these accomplishments. Music available on http://music.podshow.com/
Thanks for listening, 
Walt Cronin
