On March 17, 2015 DW3 celebrated the release of their sophomore album, Vintage Truth on the Woodward Avenue Records label. The project, with its twelve tracks, serves as a tribute to the late Ricky Lawson who produced and recorded on four of the tracks from the album.
The DW3 frontmen, Billy Mondragon, Eric Mondragon and Damon Reel, are joined by Dave Koz, Brian Culbertson, Greg Adams, Paul Brown, Elan Trotman, and Ricky Lawson. Their rhythm section and horns include the talents of Charles Streeter, Steve Carias, Rick Marcel, Carnell Harell, Tracy Carter, Darryl Williams and more.
The dynamic energy and signature harmonies listeners have come to expect of the trio certainly carries over into their most recent project. From the spirited “Let the Music” to the laid-back and soulful “I Can’t Tell You Why”, fans certainly get to take the essence of these popular SoCal based performers home with them.
In 2011, DW3 made their debut at #16 on the US Billboard charts with “On the Floor”. In 2014 they were Grammy nominated for their background vocals on the Dave Koz Summer Horns album and they have been the resident party band for The Smooth Jazz Cruise since 2004.
