Diane and the Gentle Men — live event
Diane Gentile had done a 15 city tour as support for Jesse Malin in 2019. On route, she stopped for an afternoon coffee with Alejandro Escovedo at his lovely backroad abode in Austin, TX. Taking a walk with both he and his lovely wife Nancy Rankin Escovedo, and the playful dogs, down a long quiet white sandy road, lined with wild trees and brushes of pale green foliage, came a sense of ease and quiet so unfamiliar to her. Born, raised and living in a concrete based NYC, her rushed and hectic routine was wildly chaotic in comparison. In this sense of ease came a mood, and somewhat of an answer, that later found itself in the song “Walk With Me”. Diane Gentile started The Gentle Men, one of two bands in her life, 10 years ago. Midway through recording her first album, Caught in a Wave, with producer/musician Don Diego (Fantastic Cat), she found drummer Colin Brooks, bassist Matt Basile and guitarist Jason Victor, who helped her showcase songs from that first record, and then record another full album titled The White Sea. She had early unexpected support from press on Caught in a Wave, which propelled further nterest in The White Sea, and the Underground Garage “Coolest Song in the World” airplay on Sirius Satellite Radio of “Motorcycle”, the first single from The White Sea, gave her international attention and another round of exposure to a wider audience of both peers and fans. Steve Wynn of The Dream Syndicate was the producer of “Motorcycle”. She had been a long time fan of The Dream Syndicate and world renown Steve Wynn and Jason Victor, were her guitar idols. RolingStone.com debuted her video of “Little Things”, the second single.
