New album\, ‘Find Me At The End of The World’ releases June 30th and pre-orders are available here. \nDubbed “Nashville’s next super-group” by local\, independent radio station Lightning 100\, The Daybreaks’ music is pure cinematic pop. Fronted by prolific singer/songwriters Kaleb Jones\, Heather Bond and multi-instrumentalist\, producer Bobby Holland\, and joined by Adam Bokesch on drums and Zac Stred on bass\, The Daybreaks’ songs are theatrical and haunting but never melodramatic. They pair electrifying\, intriguing lyrics with a sound reminiscent of 80s pop with a modern rock twist. Their debut album\, Find Me At The End of the World releases on this day – June 30th. New single “Do Whatever Gets You High” releases June 9th. The Daybreaks are currently competing\, representing Nashville\, against 5 other bands to play Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado on June 26th opening for The Fray as part of Southwest Airlines’ Destination: Red Rocks. Head over to their Southwest.fm page to watch their Live at 35 session playing aboard a full flight from Nashville to LA to unsuspecting passenger to vote for them! \n \n \nWhen songwriters Kaleb Jones and Heather Bond began writing music together in early 2015\, their goal was not to start a band\, but to write songs for use in TV and film. When Bobby Holland heard their early demos and suggested he produce a record for them; Bond and Jones jumped at the opportunity. Holland had previously worked with Jones\, producing and mixing his solo concept album\, “Open Ocean” (2014)\, and the two often discussed collaborating on a new project. During the course of recording\, Holland began playing and singing background vocals on the project; only then did they seriously consider starting a band. The timing was perfect\, and the three decided to form The Daybreaks in December 2015. \nBond\, Holland\, and Jones are all music industry veterans. Both Jones and Bond have successful solo careers; Bond with her eloquent debut album “So Long” (2015) produced by GRAMMY award winner Matthew Odmark\, her vivid “Walk Alone” EP\, and various international advertising placements\, and Jones as the frontman of Lorien\, The Young International\, and INTL\, along with  “Open Ocean\,” and success on NBC’s hit series ‘The Sing Off.” Holland’s mixing and producer credits run the gamut from Meghan Linsey\, to Sam and Ruby\, to Reece Mastin\, to Milktooth\, as well as INTL’s ‘Mystery\,’ and he is a respected multi-instrumentalist. \nWith The Daybreaks\, Holland’s varied sensibility of sound\, plus Bond’s piano prowess\, paired with Jones’ bold guitar playing\, is at once immediately welcoming and uncharted territory. The blend of Bond’s and Jones’ voices is beautiful; Jones’ vocal power is skillfully matched by Bond’s celestial sound\, with the combination intensified by Holland’s  production. The Daybreaks have written electrifying lyrics that intrigue the listener and beg for repeat spins. Lightning 100\, Nashville’s independent radio\, quickly dubbed the band a “Nashville super-group.” \nThe songs are theatrical and haunting\, but never melodramatic\, with substantive verses that keep the listener firmly on solid ground. The Daybreaks eponymous album is pure cinematic pop. \nThe Daybreaks on Facebook | The Daybreaks on Twitter | The Daybreaks on Instagram | Official Website

SUMMARY:David Ramirez w/ Daniel Gonzales
DESCRIPTION:The life of the traveling songwriter certainly seems romantic. But as David Ramirez notched mile number 260\,000 traveled in his 2006 Kia Rio\, the novelty began to wear off. \n“I’ve learned a lot from being alone and isolated\,” says Ramirez\, who until recently toured completely by himself\, without a band\, manager or anyone else for company. “Yes\, it’s romantic in a way. But it has also been kind of rough on my head and my heart. After a while it made it difficult to connect with people on a personal level when I got home. In hindsight\, I can see that it’s been kind of detrimental. You know\, when you travel around alone for months at a time\, the world revolves around you. There’s no one else in the equation. Everything was just about me. It’s a selfish way of living. And I’m ready to move on from that.” \nIt’s taken three years since that realization\, but with his new album ‘FABLES\,’ out August 28 via Thirty Tigers\, Ramirez takes strides towards that personal growth both as a musician and as a man. \n“I hit a dry spell for a couple of years after my last album. It was frustrating. I went into the studio two years ago planning to do a whole record\, and it just wasn’t coming together. So I scrapped the whole thing and took some time away from it\,” he says. “It felt forced. I don’t want to just put more noise into the world. I want to put something out there that means something to me. And if it doesn’t\, then I don’t release it. Therefore\, I haven’t had a new record in three years. I know that can be frustrating for people on my business team. But I don’t want to put it out there if I can’t stand behind it.” \nThe delay\, it turns out\, was for the best. “My focus wasn’t really on my music at that point\,” he explains. “I was at a point in my relationship with my girlfriend where things were getting serious. The closer we got\, the more I realized that I needed to be honest with myself and with her about where my life was heading. If I want to be in a meaningful relationship with someone\, I have to be honest in everything I do.” \nThe album’s title\, ‘FABLES\,’ was inspired by the first single\, “Harder to Lie\,” which captures the moment Ramirez realized\, as he puts it\, “I couldn’t bullsh*t with her anymore. She knew me completely. It got me thinking about how much I bullsh*t in my life – exaggerating stories\, faking a smile\, or whatever. Just telling fables. When you don’t know who you really are you can end up hurting people.” \nThat newfound maturity and clarity translated into his approach in the studio\, as Ramirez traveled to Seattle to work with his friend Noah Gundersen\, who produced the album. “My previous albums were a bit less personal. I always went in with a certain idea of what I wanted them to turn out like. I had never just walked in and said ‘let’s just see what happens.’ And that’s what we did this time. From the writing to the recording\, it was just based on instincts.” \nIn a world full of singer-songwriters hawking their stories\, Ramirez has managed to stand out from the noise\, developing a fiercely loyal following of fans who are drawn to his intimately personal songwriting. “When someone buys a record of mine\, they’re getting my life. They are essentially memoirs. They’re going to know a little bit more about who I am.” \n‘FABLES’ is a sparse\, poignant set of songs crafted around Ramirez’ starkly beautiful baritone\, which the New York Times once described as full of “haggard loneliness.” NPR Music praised his knack for writing “dark\, wrenching tales that are immediately identifiable to those who’ve loved and lost\,” while Paste described his “brutally honest” lyrics as “almost alarmingly descriptive.” \nAfter years on the road touring as an opening act for artists like Noah Gundersen\, Gregory Alan Isakov\, Shakey Graves and Joe Pug\, Ramirez is excited to finally embark on his own tour. “Fans have been paying high-dollar tickets to watch me open for other bands\, and I’m very thankful for it. I’ve also had the chance to see how other songwriters I respect work on a professional level. I’ve learned a lot and been challenged a lot. It’s like I’ve been going to school. I’ve been taking notes. And now I think I’m ready for the job. I’m really excited to finally go out with a band and do my own full set. It will be more fun and energetic.” \nAs he has learned to open himself up to other people in his personal relationships and in the studio\, Ramirez has also been focused on putting together a full-time band and letting other musicians become involved in the creative process. “I’m trying to build a family of people who create together\, not just a backing band\,” he says. “For the past five years traveling\, I get off stage and I have no one to share it with. I’ve been lucky enough to ride along with some of the bands I’ve opened for. I watch them get ready for their set and have that sense of collaboration\, and I’ll just be in the alley smoking a cigarette by myself. I’ve always had a little envy for that. I’m like every kid that grew up playing in a garage. I want a band. No one has dreams of playing the world alone.” \nDavid Ramirez on Facebook | David Ramirez on Twitter | Official Website
