Full Force Music Services announces the release of the seventh solo recording from Sterling Koch (pronounced Cook) titled, "Steelin’ Home." The CD project is a mix of different blues/rock styles from uptempo Chicago shuffles to Texas style rockin’ blues all featuring Koch’s soaring Sacred Steel style steel guitar. The CD also features guest musicians including Rick Young (Duck Soup Blues Band) on harmonica, jazz great George Grund on keyboards and Larry (L.A.) Adam (Victory In Heaven Band) on keyboards among others. The CD was recorded at Sterling’s home studio Good Acoustics in Friedensburg, PA and is the follow-up CD to his 2004 solo release, "How I Spent My Summer Vacation," which also featured him on the steel guitar.

From the opening, double-time, Gospel influenced " ‘A’ Praise," to the closing instrumental, "Sing Until The Power," the musicians on the CD make their presence felt. Covers of songs by Rev. Gary Davis as well as Bob Dylan, Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) and The Holmes Brothers mix in seamlessly with Koch’s arrangements of traditional blues standards, "Mean Old World" and "If I Could Not Say A Word” among others. The CD is available online at www.CDbaby.com and www.sterlingkoch.com .

Sterling Koch is currently the steel guitarist and lead vocalist with The Victory In Heaven Band (together now for six years). In April of 2004 Sterling suffered a herniated disk in his neck causing him to temporarily lose the use of his left arm and forcing him to switch from 6 string guitar to 8 string lap steel guitar. The band, with Koch on lap steel guitar full time now, currently specializes in a unique style of "jamband" funk, rock and contemporary blues. Sterling teaches approximately 35 guitar and bass lessons per week at his 24 track digital home recording studio, Good Acoustics. He is also worship music leader for a church’s Sunday morning and Sunday evening worship services.
