A Free Download and Two Concert Appearances
If you all have been tuning into this season of NBC's "The Voice", you know that I temporarily relocated to Los Angeles to be a part of Team Cee Lo for the past several months. It's been an amazing experience and I've had the opportunity to work quite closely with Mr. Green-- who's advice to remain true to who I am and what I do is really resonating with me at this point in my life and career. Even though I was let go from the show a couple weeks ago, I was able to depart with my head held high-- going out with my favorite performance of the season, a deliciously dark cover of The Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)".
As soon as I left the show, I knew I wanted to give back to all the fans who have encouraged me over the years, and to thank the newly acquired supporters due to my exposure on "The Voice". So, to express my gratitude and appreciation, I am giving you all a FREE DOWNLOAD of my brand new single "Starting Over". (The download will go live at some point tomorrow, May 1st, on the ReverbNation site-- and you can download it here.
If you have been following me on Facebook or Twitter over the past 9 months, you know that I've been working with a very talented Swedish gent named Ulf Dernevik on a few new tracks. Being that work still needed to be done once I got to LA, I brought a small portable studio out so that Ulf and I could work remotely and finish the project we have been working on since last September. The results are completely kick-ass! To add even more "cool-factor" to the mix, I've had the opportunity to have
Brian Malouf (Michael Jackson, Everclear, Lit, The Verve Pipe) mix these tracks. (Also, the golden ears of Robert Smith at
Defy Recordings mastered them.)
I believe that this is my best work to date and I'd love for you all to spread the word about the free download! (Please don't just give it away-- simply direct your mates and loved ones to the download location and the tune is theirs at no charge. We're looking for monumental download numbers from all over the globe!-- so give all your friends-- and their friends-- the heads up to get the word out about "Starting Over".)
As I'm wrapping things up here in LA, I have two LIVE SHOWS that I want to let you know about.
The first show will be a very intimate gig. In fact, it will be so intimate you won't have you get out of your PJ's to view it! Good friend and artist (and "The Voice" battle round contender)
Justin Hopkins and I will be performing in the privacy of his living room and streaming it LIVE into your bedroom, bathroom or where ever you so choose to have your streaming device. The gig is THIS WEDNESDAY (May 2nd) at 6:30pm PST and can be viewed via the very cool StageIt website
HERE. Make sure you get your tickets ASAP for this event-- as they are almost already sold out. (Check out the weblink for more information.)
The second concert I'll be performing will be with the other crazy kids from this season of "The Voice". It's going to be a killer night! Some of the details of the event are here:
May 9th 6pm door, 7:45pm downbeat
Saint Rocke www.saintrocke.com (capacity 275 seated-- recent concerts here: Amos Lee, Bush, Brett Dennen. Amazing venue!)
142 Pacific Coast Highway
Hermosa Beach, CA 90254
TICKETS $15 ADV $20 DOOR 21+
Not in the LA/Hermosa Beach area? No problem. We have actually worked out a very special situation, again with StageIt.com, to get this show piped thru your broadband in real-time. We will be streaming this live performance free with a 4 camera shoot and full sound. Also, worldwide viewers can tune in! We also have a pay-to-watch backstage StageIt.com event planned for that night where you can chat with artists present at the gig, send requests, tip us kindly-- (you can tip each artist at their StageIt page), etc. At the moment, this gig is not up online-- so keep an eye out for the event's details by following me on Twitter (
@TonyTheVincent) and
Facebook. Details will be posted shortly.
In closing, I have to let you in on one of the most amazing and monumental events that happened while I have been out here in Los Angeles. My lady (Aspen Vincent) gave birth (COMPLETELY NATURALLY!!) to an amazingly beautiful baby. Her name is Sadie Day Vincent, and as a result, I have acquired the lifelong title of "father". We couldn't be more excited or more blessed that it was a successful (although incredibly long) labor/birth and that both mama and baby are healthy and well (and, of course trying to find sleep when they can).
So that's the scoop. Go spread the word and download "
Starting Over" TOMORROW, May 1st. I would love to know your thoughts-- so hit me up on Facebook or Twitter and give me some feedback.
Cheers!
