AMERICAN AUTHORS: ALTERNATIVE ROCK GROUP

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 on the links below and see for yourself.

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”.
