And out of several nominations Gary is now a finalist for this years ISSA American Male Emerging Artist Of The Year at the same awards ceremony this May. And coming up is Gary Pratt! With his single, "Til Your Boots Are Dirty", from his album, "Something Worth Remembering." THAT'S GARY PRATT! First time on The Lookout Guy, to complete my comprehensive one-year plan to feature everybody I met LAST year at the ISSA 2022 awards in Atlanta! It's been a real ride folks. And after Gary Pratt's latest, We'll hear from my good friend in the Los Angeles area, Gregg Wietstock, the band, 3 Days In The Grave, and Pakistani rock legend guitarist, songwriter and composer, Imran Ahmed, and I will give you all the details, AFTER this!

Gregg is a prolific singer, songwriter, vocalist and instrumentalist and mainly plays bass and guitar, is bassist/B/U VOX for the Christian rock band, 3 Days In The Grave with Lead Guitar/VOX Robert Tyler, and Drummer B/U VOX Gene Copley. I've been following this group since I met them at a Los Angeles music fest in 2018, going on 6 years now. And through Gregg, Robert and Gene, I met the online acquaintance of Imran Ahmed from Karachi, Pakistan!

And this year, among previous years, Imran, his wife Shaista and their daughter Zainab, are finalists for Promotion, Representation and Imran for International Male Rising Star. All together Robert, Gene and Gregg Wietstock of 3 Days In The Grave have collaborated in several songs with Imran, one of which I have qued, "Trapped Within," which also has Gregg as lead VOX, and that followed by a 3 Days In The Grave song with Main VOX/Lead Guitar Robert Tyler and Gene Coply on Drums, My Love For You!" Those 2 songs may be found on Bongo Boy Record's 2020 comp release of, Kryp 2 Knight Vol 1 for digital downloads at this link: https://bongoboyrecords.com/krypiiknight/ Also on that SAME comp cd, is Gregg Wietstock's song from his 2020 album Face To Face, is "Crushed With The Cross", Greggs first solo album, self-produced at the legendary Rock Zion Studios (which I was able to hang out there with 3DITG during one of their recordings a couple years ago). That will be followed by another solo cover single by Gregg, "Sing For The Common Man', ALSO on Bongo Boy Records! A 2020 comp cd, "Tribute To The Queen Of Country, Dolly Parton."

'Tribute To The Queen Of Country Music, Dolly Parton'In the band, Wheels Of Confusion
a Black Sabbath Tribute band that I had the honor
of portraying the great Ozzy Osborne,
We had the crazy idea of submitting a Dolly P. song to
be featured on the Bongo Boy Tribute. We chose her song
"Sing For The Common Man"
We had the huge honor of it being accepted by
Monique Grimme at the famed record label.
And finally we will here Gregg Wietstock's latest single from this year, "Let The People Be Free!"
