Seattle’s latest rising rock band, THE GUESSING GAME will kick-off the spring with some limited exclusive local dates with the release of their debut CD, Holy Crow on April 15th on Guessing Game Music. The Guessing Game has a knack for blending the energy of more traditional pure rock with great pop hooks, spiked with hair-raising guitar solos. The first single titled ‘Someday, So Clear’ will hit airwaves late April in time for the band to announce tour dates. ‘Someday, So Clear’ was written early one morning in the time it took me to drink a cup of coffee,” explains singer Jeff Rouse. “Some songs need to be fussed with and groomed, some need to just be what they are. Someday, So Clear turned out to be the latter - Thanks to the gods of rock and roll, Here's to a little heartache, a little regret, and shitload of hope. HOLY CROW!”

Formed in the summer of 2013, The Guessing Game is the brain child of Jeff Rouse, long time bassist of DUFF MCKAGAN'S LOADED. “In the summer of 2013, I found myself with some much needed time on my hands. I knew it was time to find the right people to finally bring these songs I had been writing to life. Having spent the last 14 or so years writing, recording and touring in Loaded, it was time for me to get the ‘other’ songs I had been working on out of my head, onto tape, and see what happens.”

Seeking out long time Seattle rock luminaries Kathy Moore (BRAD, SATCHEL) Gary Westlake (PETER FRAMPTON, FLIGHT TO MARS) Keith Ash (STAR ANNA) and Shawn Zellar (REDNECK GIRLFRIEND), Rouse knew this was something special – “They all breathed life and beauty into the songs and it was magnificent.”

In advance of the April 15th street date, a special preorder of Holy Crow CD is available to the fans on Amazon.
