Artist Bio

Former Blue Tears front-man Gregg Fulkerson finds musical re-birth in his new band, Attraction 65. Together, with a group of seasoned players, Attraction 65 is a musical force that has the rare ability to capture the dynamics of a live rock show in the studio, and is preparing to release their debut album this summer.
Attraction 65 is Gregg Fulkerson, lead vocals and guitars; Robert Streets, solo backing vocals and acoustic guitars; Michael Spears, bass guitar and backing vocals; Paul Zegelien, electric guitar and backing vocals; Ludo Baccherini, drums and backing vocals.
“These songs are born from true life experiences,” says Fulkerson, a gifted singer/songwriter, wise enough to let his heart speak for itself. “I want to get the music to the people and do it honest.”
Gregg and Michael have been friends since college, and were the nucleus of Blue Tears, a power rock band, signed to MCA Records in the days of loud guitars and even longer hair. As the LA music scene turned to Seattle, Gregg and Michael turned to the studio to write songs and work on solo projects. Gregg first worked on a solo album for ex-Stryper singer Michael Sweet, on which he penned its first number one single. He continued to write and prepare for what is now Attraction 65.
Bassist Michael Spears most recently produced Rose Falcon's single for the hit Disney movie, “Inspector Gadget”. He is also re-mixing the album “Power Windows” for Bon Jovi collaborator Billy Falcon. After a few years apart, Gregg and Michael reunited along with drummer Ludo Baccherini, from Florence, Italy, and started preparing to cut tracks for the upcoming album.
“Music is passionate,” says Ludo. “If music, or anything else for that matter, does not come from the heart, it does not exist.” Ludo's career as a drummer began in small clubs, and quickly moved to stadiums all over Europe. After relocating to the United States where he played for local LA bands, he ended up in Nashville, working with recording artist Mitch Malloy and eventually, Attraction 65.
As Gregg penned the songs, he and guitarist Paul Zegelien played acoustic shows to try out the new material. After the success of those performances, Paul was considered a member of the band. Paul's favorite song on the album is “Call My Name,” because of its message of hope.
The last piece of this musical puzzle is singer/songwriter/producer Robert Streets, Fulkerson's long time friend and collaborator. Streets were brought to Nashville by Sony Music and have spent the last few years producing and singing on various projects.
“I was originally brought in on this album for my voice and my ears, but after many long nights in the studio with Gregg, we agreed, that I had to be a member of Attraction 65.”
