AMERICAN AUTHORS:
The American
born group came together via Brooklyn NY/Boston MA, in 2006 as ‘The Blue Pages’,
but soon changed their name to the
'American Authors’, and off they go. They
are enjoying the good life, with their best selling single ‘Best Days of My
Life’ with several commercials airing their anthem, and it has also been added to movie trailers, and with non-stop radio play, this
song is destined for only good things to come.
Zac Barnett: Lead Vocals, Guitar, James Adam Shelly: Lead Guitar, Dave Rublin: Bass, Matt Sanchez: Drums, have been together since the beginning, and while they
profess to be ‘College Dropouts’ they
are definitely talented and maybe college isn’t for everyone, at least for now. Their music has substance, and I
can’t wait for their debut album
“Oh What A
Life” to be released on March 4, 2014. If you haven’t heard them before, click

The American
Authors recently appeared on the ‘Ellen’ Show and have been added to ‘One
Republics’ 2014 summer tour as the opening act.
“Crafting their own story line: "We
tell stories, so we look at ourselves as authors, and we're from all over the
country, so that's where the American came from," says Barnett. "I'm
from Minnesota, James is from Florida, Matt from Texas and Dave from New
Jersey." The songs are all based in their experiences, so fans should
consider the music a peek into their lives. "Two songs off our
(self-titled) EP, for example. Luckis about moving away from family and having to miss big
events and making those sacrifices," says Barnett. "Home is about how going home always turns out to be
harder than you think it will be." While they call themselves alt-pop
rock, the band pulls from wildly different styles. "We add our own flavor;
we use EDM, hip-hop, Irish folk songs," he says. "We like everything from Jimi
Hendrix and Motown to The 1975”.
