Alexander Jean BC Jean & Mark Ballas
-from Los Angeles, CA -Alexander Jean first formed in 2012 at a Los
Angeles singer-songwriter showcase. BC became an in demand artist
and songwriter when her song "If I Were A Boy" became a worldwide #1
hit after Beyonce recorded it for her I AM…SASHA FIERCE album.
Mark was the winner of MTV's Freshman Five in 2011, and named him as
that year's "Artist To Watch." In 2014, he released his debut
single "Get My Name"; the track hit the Top 25 on iTunes' pop
chart while the song's video debuted at #1 on multiple MTV platforms.
BC and Mark have taken a very raw approach to their music through their
team work in songwriting, vocal production and harmonization. The
combination of BC's unmistakable voice and inflection on lead vocals
with Marks' extensive guitar abilities (ranging from flamenco, rock and
blues), as well as assisting on vocals/harmonies, have created a sound
that is uniquely their own as Alexander Jean. Alexander Jean,
singer-songwriter duo featuring BC Jean and Mark Ballas, will embark on
their first U.S. national tour titled "Head High," sponsored by
Nicorette® and NicoDerm® CQ®. The "Head High" title for the tour comes
from the first song Mark and BC wrote together, which led to the
creation of Alexander Jean. The lyric embodies strength, motivation and
inspiration to never give up throughout life's ups and downs. In
conjunction with Alexander Jean's debut EP release, also titled "Head
High" and due on June 3, the tour kicks off on June 17 in Santa Ana,
California, and will run through July 20, concluding in San Francisco,
California. Alexander Jean's current single, "Thief," recently hit #5
on iTunes' Singer/Songwriter chart, following up their debut single,
"Roses And Violets," which hit #1 on iTunes' Singer/Songwriter chart;
and #6 on iTunes' Overall Chart. The duo, recently named "KIIS FM
Next Up Artist of the Week," made their South By Southwest (SXSW) debut
this year, and also performed at BMI's annual "Snow Ball" event at
Sundance. Alexander Jean has also been chosen to perform at the
3rd Annual L.A. GRAMMY Showcase to be held May 17 at The Fonda Theatre.
Alexander Jean has performed live on the West Coast in Los Angeles to
sold out audiences at The Viper Room, Hotel Café, Room 5 and No Name;
in San Francisco at Feinstein's at The Nikko; and in San Diego at
the House of Blues. Says Aidin Vaziri of the San Francisco
Chronicle: "The….duo comes with a serious Top 40
pedigree…together, they come up with a pleasing pop-rock-soul hybrid
that weaves together eclectic influences…" In Style says:
"The duo…specialize in a brand of infectious pop-rock-soul….and
listeners have noticed…"
Bryan McPherson Bryan McPherson with Friends
-from Boston/Los Angeles, CA Folk-punk troubadour Bryan McPherson’s
immersion in Occupy Oakland in 2011 was a life-changing experience that
informed his forthcoming dynamic third album, Wedgewood, which came out
the summer 2015. In between playing shows on “Teargas Tuesday” and
dodging rubber bullets in the name of change at Occupy, he began to
collate and catalog the inspiration for his latest offering. His songs
meld Americana, folk, alternative, and punk into one incendiary,
incisive sound - paying homage to influences such as Bob Dylan, The Sex
Pistols, The Violent Femmes, Bruce Springsteen and Ani DiFranco.
Touring year-round, Bryan has hit the road many times with punk
luminaries Dropkick Murphys, he’s opened for the legendary Chuck Berry
and boasts a fan in Slash. He’s received much critical acclaim, with
the San Francisco Bay Guardian praising, “His words aren’t just
cerebral ponderings about the state of the government. It is one man
belting—at the top of his lungs—his honest, emotional impressions of
the world.” Bryan’s got something to say loud and clear. He explains,
“I see music as a means for change. It’s a powerful and beautiful
force, and it’s my life.
