STRYPER Frontman MICHAEL SWEET And GABBIE RAE Perform Live Acoustic Rendition Of PETER FRAMPTON Classic "Baby, I Love Your Way"

Sixteen year-old rock newcomer Gabbie Rae has checked in with the following update:

“Last night my friend, mentor and inspiration Michael Sweet of Stryper did an amazing acoustic solo show at the Whisky (in Los Angeles) and invited me to join him on stage for a couple of songs. So we decided to do something a little different and totally toned it down with some classic and beautiful Peter Frampton. The crowd sang along and it was just a great experience. 

Thank you Michael for sharing your stage and for believing in me since the first time we met when I was just 10 years old. I look forward to and am very excited to get our project together started real soon.”

Back in November 2014, Gabbie Raepoke with BraveWords scribe Carl Begai about her rise to fame within the rock and metal community. An excerpt from the story is available below:

Gabbie Rae: “I met (Stryper frontman) Michael Sweet when I was 10 years old. Stryper played the House Of Blues in Myrtle Beach and I was at the show with my parents. I was holding up this huge Stryper sign and he saw it, and after the show security came over and said Michael Sweet had invited us backstage. We met and I told him I was a singer, and I ended up singing a song for the guys backstage. That was the first time I met him; it was like a movie (laughs). I kept seeing him over the years and we became friends. About a year-and-a-half ago he invited me to sing ‘Always There For You’ with him and Oz Fox at an acoustic show at the Whisky (in Los Angeles), so of course I said yes. I did the song and there was an industry person in the audience that was connecetd to Michael and is now connected to me. If it hadn’t been for that night I doubt I’d be where I am right now. I wouldn’t have been on the cruise, I wouldn’t have gotten to know Todd La Torre, I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing. I give so much credit to Michael Sweet for this.”

Queensrÿche vocalist Todd La Torre recently spoke with BraveWords about Gabbie Rae and he offered the following:

“Gabbie Rae is a rising star in her own right and has continued to garner respectable attention among her peers, which include some of the biggest names in rock history. We’ve talked about doing some collaborative songwriting together in the future, I’ve got some of my own original material that her voice would really bring to life with her tone and texture. It’s wonderful to see her talent inspire so many people through her music, I truly believe in her.”
