GUMBO is a compilation album featuring originals and covers while being a self-made product from the inside out. Leaving synthesized technology at the door, Michael releases an album that is raw, unplugged and artistically his - all the way down to the cover art, which depicts the band that played on the album painted in Michael's very hand... a true artist! This album features Michael Grimm with musicians Bruce Wallace, John Wedemeyer, Dave Hart and Jim Buck (depicted from left to right on the album cover). Also making cameos on the album are Lenny Lopez, Danny Garay, Ines Zak and Lucie Zolcerova. "This is a fun summer album of some of my favorites that I wanted to give to the fans to enjoy," says Michael.
