Originally recorded in 2018 at Superior Sound Studios with engineer Jim Stewart, the song was a response by singer/songwriter and guitarist Brent Kirby to the deepening divisions he saw and felt in American society. But it was also a plea for people to work together in order to fix those same divisions. “It was simply something I started saying to myself and then became something I sang.”
Brent's original idea, a steady chant with only a few guitar chords, grew to anthemic proportions with the contributions of his bandmates Bobby Latina (guitar), Greg Campolieti (drums) and Edward Ángel Sotelo (bass). A mainstay of the Cleveland music scene for 15 years, the recorded performance of “Gotta Get Together” represents the true essence of the intense live approach that the Jack Fords are best known for.
As a hotly contested US election approaches ever closer, the band realized that the time was right for "Gotta Get Together” to be heard. "The song says everything that needs to be said about our current situation, both politically and as human beings," says drummer Greg Campolieti.
