BOYCE AVENUE

After a hugely successful run of touring, which saw the band play some of the biggest venues in the United States, Canada, Australia, Europe and the United Kingdom, Boyce Avenue are back with a sixteen date USA New Markets Tour beginning in March 2012 and hitting many new cities that Boyce Avenue didn’t have an opportunity to play on previous tours. The band is excited to get a chance to play for their fans in these markets who haven’t yet had the chance to come to a concert previously.

Boyce Avenue, a Florida-based band popular for its strong acoustic roots and melodic rock sound, consists of three brothers Alejandro, Fabian, and Daniel Manzano. The brothers first came together as a band in 2004 when Alejandro (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Fabian (guitar, vocals), and their older brother Daniel (bass, percussion, vocals) reconnected after Daniel graduated from Harvard Law School and moved back to Florida where Fabian and Alejandro were both attending classes at the University of Florida. It was there that the brothers continued to write music and to perform local shows, taking their most formative steps toward becoming a band.

In 2007, in an effort to share their music and ideas with the world, the band decided to start filming and posting videos on YouTube of them performing their own songs as well as some of their favorite songs by other popular artists. The videos began to resonate instantly with YouTube viewers and to date the band’s Youtube channel has amassed over 400,000,000 views and almost 1,000,000 subscribers making it one of the most watched of all time. In 2010 the band released their major label debut album, All We Have Left, on Universal Republic records, featuring the single “Every Breath” with a music video shot by acclaimed director Zach Merck (Blue October, Safetysuit) based on an idea created by the band. Following the release of the album the band has spent the last 18 months touring on an extensive worldwide basis and playing for thousands of fans in the United States, Canada, the UK, mainland Europe, Asia and Australia. While the band loves connecting with their fans online, nothing pleases them more than getting out and putting on a one of a kind show for as many people as possible.

Special Guests / Opening Acts: 

SECONDHAND SERENADE

With the heat of summer in full swing, the next stage of Secondhand Serenade’s saga is gearing up for release. Those familiar with the words of John Vesely, the man behind Secondhand Serenade, have lived through his picturesque stories of life’s ups and downs - from the act’s acoustic debut, Awake, to the fuller, and more emotionally complex sounds of 2008’s sophomore A Twist In My Story. Fans have gravitated to John’s heart-on-his sleeve approach and are consistently moved by his tales of life, love and loss that foster universal understanding.

THE AFTER PARTY

With songs that instantly catch listeners' ears, and a sound that combines the best of the boy band era with modern day pop, it's no surprise that The After Party is quickly becoming a favorite for music lovers across America. Though the group formed just over a year ago, this Kansas City, KS quartet has already begun to make an impact in the underground music scene.
