He's Serving Up "Some Quality Rock and Roll Music" on the East Coast This Week!

Okay, while this isn't necessarily a "Penn Foodie" related post, musician Gabriel Mann (C'95, Off the Beat), is holding a spoon in the video above and tells us he and his band The Rescues are serving up some quality rock and roll music.   Good enough.

I briefly interrupt our Foodie series this week because I wanted to post this so all of you on the east coast are aware that Gabe and his band The Rescues are touring the east coast this week.  And if you remember from my DT posts, Gabe's band's infectiously addicting music has been featured on "Grey's Anatomy" three times this past year!

Gabriel Mann's Music Featured Again in GREY'S ANATOMY! (tonight & next week!)

• "Break Me Out" will be heard in episode 19 (season 5), which airs this Thursday April 23rd at 9pm (TONIGHT) and will be the 3rd appearance of Rescues music on the show already this season. (the song is featured in minute 39:54 at abc.com)
• Next week, on Thursday April 30th, the show will debut the Rescues’ song "Stay Over" from the upcoming album "Let Loose The Horses." (the song is featured in minute 19:45 at abc.com)

Gabriel Mann's Music on GREY'S ANATOMY for Second Time!

If you recall, Gabriel Mann (C'95, Off the Beat) and his group The Rescues' acoustic version of their song "Crazy Ever After" was on the season premiere of Grey's Anatomy.

Well, the producers must have loved this group's music because another song of theirs was featured in last Thursday's episode too! This one comes as a relief during a very funny and awkward moment during Callie and Dr. Hahn's first date as "new lesbians"! Check out minute :56 above and you'll see what I'm talking about!

Gabriel Mann's Music Gets Supersized for the Olympics

Penn is being represented in the Olympics in more ways than one.

Yesterday, Susan Francia (C'04) was one of the eight who won the gold in rowing for the United States.

There's also news of another Penn alumnus who has been part of the Olympics stage as well.

If you've been watching the Olympics, chances are you've seen Gabriel Mann's  (C'95, Off the Beat) work...or maybe tivo'd right through it.


Gabe wrote music for a big McDonald's Olympics commercial, which  per Gabe is "the one with the breakfast chicken sandwich and a bunch of olympians talking about how awesome mcdonalds breakfast chicken sandwich is".  Check out in the clip above!

Besides this, Gabe also shared with me that he produced Sara Bareilles' first album, "the one before the big one on the big label".  It's called Careful Confessions, and it's being released by her label.
