GENTLE GIANT guitarist Gary Green has been confirmed as the guest for Long Live Rock on Sunday, November 15th at 8:00pm EST / 7:00pm Central. Green will join hosts Sterling Whitaker (www.wewillrockyoublog.com) and Jeb Wright (www.classicrockrevisited.com) to talk about Gentle Giant's recent digital remasters and take some listener calls.

Gentle Giant is regarded by many as one of the world's most underrated rock bands. From 1970 to 1980 Gentle Giant released a string of musically adventurous albums that challenged the preconceptions of the rock genre while earning the band a rabidly loyal following. Though the band never achieved the same degree of commercial success as its progressive rock contemporaries like ELP, YES, GENESIS or JETHRO TULL, Gentle Giant retains a fanatical cult-like audience almost forty years after the release of its first album. On November 3rd Gentle Giant released In A Glass House, The Power and the Glory, Free Hand, Interview, Playing The Fool, The Missing Piece, and Giant For A Day through all digital channels. The albums are re-mastered and each one features several tracks from either live concerts or live radio sessions.

Gary Green played on all of Gentle Giant's albums and tours. In recent years he has recorded with Billy Sherwood on a number of projects, and in 2009 Green formed a new band called Three Friends with other former Gentle Giant members, performing the music of Gentle Giant. He will be discussing the digital releases, his career with Gentle Giant and Three Friends, and taking listener calls. The show will stream live at this locationand fans can call (347) 637-3446 with questions for Gary Green.

As previously reported, Long Live Rock is a live call-in show featuring interviews with some of the greatest rock musicians in the world. The show is a joint venture between two hosts who are already familiar to classic rock fans. Sterling Whitaker is a music journalist and the author of two books; Unsung Heroes of Rock Guitar in 2003, and 2007's The Grand Delusion: The Unauthorized True Story of Styx, which was an Amazon bestseller and garnered rave reviews in Classic Rock Magazine, Goldmine, Record Collector and many online media outlets. Whitaker has appeared as a guest on VH1, BBC Radio, and radio all over North America, and also hosts the popular podcast We Will Rock You).

Jeb Wright is one of the best-known and most respected interviewers in the genre. As the founder and editor of Classic Rock Revisited, over the last ten years Wright has interviewed a Who's Who of rock and metal artists. He conducts the Jumbotron interviews for the Moondance Jam every year, and in 2009 Wright celebrated the first decade of Classic Rock Revisited by releasing his first book, From The Vaults Series I: Stadium Rock.
