Secondhand Serenade Hit

02/22/07
. (MSO) Indie phenomenon SECONDHAND SERENADE is JOHN VESELY, a one-man show hailing from Menlo Park, CA. His mix of extremely heartfelt music and poetic lyrics has caused a strong reaction with fans through MySpace. This underground buzz and word-of-mouth propelled him to reach and stay at the top unsigned artist position on MySpace for four months. As of today, SECONDHAND SERENADE has reached over 17,692,067 plays on MySpace, an incredible feat for an artist just now signed by an indie label. After selling over 15,000 copies of his debut acoustic album Awake on his own through a PayPal account, John signed on with Daniel Glass as part of his newly formed Glassnote Records. Last week (2/6), the label released AWAKE with two new songs--�It�s Not Over� and �Take Me With You�--and it has debuted at #16 and #8 on the Billboard �Top Heatseekers� chart and the �Alternative New Artist� albums chart, respectively. AWAKE marks the first-ever release for Glassnote Records which is distributed through ILG (Warner Music Group's Independent Label Group).

Later this month, SECONDHAND SERENADE will team up with Butch Walker and Danny Lohner to produce his debut full-length. The new album--which will feature a full band--will be released at the end of the summer. - Click here for the Full Story
