AOR BIOGRAPHY

Frederic Slama has continued to inspire us through the years with his « LA » themed releases. Ranging from soft rock to west coast to harder, edgier tunes Frederic has always brought quality music to the table. Now in 2014 Frédéric Slama’ s AOR project is back with lucky number 13, with an impressive new album called « L.A Connection », featuring a fantastic list of guests such as Tommy Denander (Radioactive, Paul Stanley, Alice Cooper), Bill Champlin (Chicago), Paul Sabu (Sabu, Only Child, Kidd Glove), Jeff Paris, Sherwood Ball (Jay Graydon), David Forbes (Boulevard), Rick Riso, Philip Bardowell (Places Of Power, Unruly Child), Bob Harris (Axe), Tamara Champlin & many others.

For this 13th album, AOR is flirting with heavier territories with songs reminiscent of Foreigner, Giant, Journey & Toto. The first class production by Frédéric Slama & Tommy Denander will leave you breathless and the legendary singers of «L.A Connection » will surely take Melodic Rock to new heights ! So it’s time for the “L.A Connection” !

This is AOR’s best outing to date and worthy of your attention, like a great red wine AOR just improves as each year passes.
