Gabe Larose's latest album of original songs, Rule of Thirds, continues his exploration of the nexus between 70's hard rock and singer/songwriter styles. His guitar playing is front and center throughout the album, both acoustic and electric, and even classical on the instrumental "Lavender Magnolia". His singing is complemented by Rachel Larose's harmony vocals on several tunes, yet they swap roles on "Symbol of Hope." Many of his songs were developed in live performance with his band Soundtrust. There's plenty of variety on this album, but at the heart of every track is a fidelity to influences such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, America, Fleetwood Mac and Kansas. "If someone says this would've had a shot in the 70's, I'd be happy," says Gabe of Rule of Thirds, "Music back then sounded real."

Through the Motions, released in 2015, features tight playing in support of a wide variety of lyrical themes.

Gabe Larose's 2009 release, Reinvention, was his first solo album of original tunes.

When he is not working as a private guitar instructor, Gabe Larose can be found throughout the Huntsville, Alabama, area playing shows at night and on weekends, both solo and with his band Soundtrust, featuring John Meshensky on bass, Richard Best on percussion, Nic McClure on guitar and his wife, Rachel Larose, on vocals.
