Patrick Barrett-Donlon – Drums
Performing music from his second album Americana (released April 2025), Eddie Gripper tells the story of an 8,000 km hitchhiking journey from Alaska to California, completed in under two months during the summer of 2022. The music captures the vast landscapes and unforgettable moments along the way – from sleeping in the Alaskan wilderness to cycling down Santa Monica Pier – offering a vivid, hopeful, yet unflinching reflection on American life.
“A composer of refreshing originality but with roots deeply embedded in the post-modern jazz piano tradition”– Nigel Jarrett (Wales Art Review)
“Eddie Gripper leaves us wanting more… and soon.” – Nick Lea (Jazz Views)
“Gripper is a multi-faceted writer and his compositions are full of delightful and unexpected twists and turns.” – Ian Mann (The Jazz Mann)
