RICHRATH PROJECT 3:13 Shares Video Of Late Original REO SPEEDWAGON Guitarist GARY RICHRATH In The Studio With MICHAEL JAHNZ

Richrath Project 3:13 has released a video clip of the late Gary Richrath in the studio with Michael Jahnz working on the song "Help Me Save Me From Myself" from the recently released album L.A. Is Mine. This is where it all began – Gary Richrath bringing the song “Help Me Save Me From Myself” to Michael Jahnz and it shows Gary teaching it to him and them working on it together.

L.A. Is Mine features tracks with and without Gary Richrath (they are some of the only remaining, never before heard tracks, written and performed by Gary). It will include five new originals, three new Gary Richrath songs with him on guitar, and re-recorded versions of “Ridin’ the Storm Out” and “Son of A Poor Man” as bonus tracks.

The album was released Friday, August 6 via Dark Star/Sony/Orchard/UMG.

Gary was a principal songwriter on the majority of REO’s classic records, and was well known for his unforgettable stage presence. Simply put, Richrath Project 3:13 is a version of REO Speedwagon in their early years - when they rocked harder and weren’t so “ballad-based.”

Richrath Project 3:13, takes you back to the beginnings of REO Speedwagon, and tells the story of Gary Richrath via his music up to his passing and beyond - over the course of a two hour performance including a multimedia show that documents Gary and Michael’s history. The show also includes some of Michael’s awesome new original songs performed by the newest version of Richrath Project 3:13 with a group of very talented musicians, including Dennis Pockets on lead guitar, Scott Weber on keyboards, Doug Janssen on bass and Andy Crownover on drums.
