Long regarded as one of the world's premier musicians, David Sancious is pleased to announce the release of tracks from his upcoming album, "The Ghost of Jim Crow." The full version of the first track, "Why Must It Be So," is now available.

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductee David Sancious has recorded and performed on keyboards and guitar and toured with various Grammy Award-winning artists. David is an original member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. Peter Gabriel, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Santana, Natalie Merchant, Yousou Ndour, Erika Badu, Aretha Franklin, Seal and others have used David's talents as pianists, synthesists, guitarists, arrangers, and producers on recording sessions and concert tours, playing an eclectic and diverse range of music. After several years of playing keyboards and guitar in Jazz, R&B, and Rock Bands in the Jersey Shore area, David met Bruce Springsteen at the entrance to a club where Bruce was organizing a jam session. This led to an invitation to join a new band that Bruce was putting together. This eventually became Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band (named after the street David lived on). After recording three albums and touring the country with Bruce, David left to form the group Tone and recorded several albums.

In May, he will tour with Will Calhoun, the drummer for Living Colour, on the Open Secret project throughout the Northeast US. Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)
