The soulful strains of his guitar become a powerful conduit through which he channels his past, turning turmoil into a form of rock & roll therapy.

Securing the involvement of iconic musicians like Kip Winger on bass and Troy Luccketta from Tesla on drums only added a layer of refined rock credibility to Straw’s work. The recording sessions for “Apartment 3513” at Soultrain Sound Studios in Tennessee were a testament to his incredible drive and passion. “This sounds great, you gotta come back and record more songs for an album,” Kip Winger said, encapsulating the high energy and undeniable talent Straw brought to the table.
