Andy Grammer + Ryan Star + Action Item February 8, 2012

One listen to Grammer's self-titled S-Curve Records debut and it is clear that this young man became an expert. There's something wonderfully original about Andy Grammer. Beautifully blending classic and modern styles into a catchy cocktail of genuine pop, Andy's music is one part John Legend, one part Maroon 5 with a splash of Lauryn Hill. He carries a moving spark to his sound that's unique in every sense of the word, while wielding a confidence that is reminiscent of rock n' roll's glory days.

Establishing himself as a Road Dog, Andy hasn't stopped stacking up the gigs. He's played over 100 colleges to date across the country, from Duke to UCLA, and opened for some of the industry's brightest stars, including Plain White T's and Josh Kelley. The demand continues to grow from his thousands of loyal followers coast to coast. Named one of Billboard's 2011 Artists to Watch, the singer recorded the album in New York and Los Angeles with a collection of top producers, including Matt Wallace (Faith No More, Maroon 5), S*A*M & Sluggo (Train, Neon Trees) and Barrett Yeretsian (Christina Perri).His songs are a throwback to the greats that have come before, and a path that paves the way for what's to come next.

As the title of the New York rocker's Atlantic debut provocatively suggests, Star's whole life has been building to this point. The songs on "11:59" play out in real time, the stories spin out in narratives that resonate with urgency and truth. Star's often stripped-bare vocals give the songs an added resonance. For "11:59," Star partnered with producer Matt Serletic (matchbox twenty, Collective Soul), who artfully understood how to combine Star's storytelling style with his modern sensibilities. Howard Benson (Daughtry, My Chemical Romance) provided additional production to bring out his rock roots. For more than half his life, Star has been a fiery performer.

Born and raised in Long Island, N.Y., by the time Star was 14 he regularly traveled to Manhattan to play clubs, including the legendary CBGB's. Enter his decision to compete on CBS's 2006 reality show "Rock Star: Supernova" as a way to take his music directly to the viewers. And the viewers loved him: Star's high-octane performances quickly became fan favorites as they highlighted both his stellar musicianship and natural- born showmanship.
