Bronson Arroyo pitched for 17 seasons in the major leagues. Over the course of his career, he racked up 148 regular-season victories, earned a World Series ring with the 2004 Boston Red Sox, and secured himself a place in the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame.

For the better part of the last two decades, Arroyo has regularly performed around the country, usually playing sets of cover songs to raise funds for philanthropic causes like The Foundation to Be Named Later and United Sound. In 2005, he released Covering the Bases, a well-received album featuring his renditions of classic 90s anthems by the likes of Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters and Stone Temple Pilots.

And now, five years after his retirement from baseball, Arroyo shares his own music with the world for the first time. The album titled, Some Might Say features ten songs filled with hard-driving guitars, powerful choruses and vivid, observational lyrics sung by Arroyo with the same passion and intensity that he once applied to the delivery of a two-strike curveball. Recorded primarily in Los Angeles with guitarist Jamie Arentzen ( Miley Cyrus, American Hi-Fi, Butch Walker), bassist/keyboardist Ed Valauskas (Juliana Hatfield, The Gravel Pit, Graham Parker), guitarist/keyboardist Clint Walsh (Dwarves, The Motels, Pluralone), and drummer Eric Gardner (Gnarls Barkley, Tom Morello, Garbage). Legendary Cars keyboardist Greg Hawkes makes an appearance on the track, “Side FX.” Read more on Last.fm.
