Led by poignant single "Figure Me Out" and the infectious "Missin' You", new album Stories For Monday is positioned to be The Summer Set's most powerful release to date. - William Beckett -from Chicago, IL “Music is all about connection,“ expresses solo artist William Beckett. “Performer gives to listener, listener gives back to performer. I respect my fans and their inevitable evolution of taste and experience. The only constants in life are change and the necessity of music. THAT is why I don’t make the same record over and over again. I’m not trying to cater to an audience or lower the bar to some level of “relatability”. I write real songs for real people about real experiences. The connect ion is the skin, the meat and the core. The whole apple.” As a solo artist, and with The Academy Is…, Beckett has toured with the likes of KISS, Fall Out Boy, Motion City Soundtrack, Cobra Starship, Plain White T’s, Mayday Parade and more. Though his early solo tours have focused on an intimate, stripped down performance– fans can expect future tours to expand greatly over time into a full band, in your face experience with Beckett handing off the guitar and taking over the stage with his signature charismatic and mesmerizing stage presence as a frontman. Hudson Thames -from Los Angeles, CA -Hudson Thames is an actor and musician. He appeared on Greetings from Home and Rule The Mix, and currently plays the role of Sage on Malibu Country, television show known for the country singer and actress Reba McEntire. At age 14 he formed a band called ''The Leather Souls'' and played an active part as a singer-songwriter. He is currently writting is first album, and his song ''Easy'' was featured in an episode of Malibu Country. Taylor Grey Taylor Grey -from the Bay Area -Inquisitive, pensive, insightful, committed, individual, loyal; these are characteristics of an old soul, and they all are an appropriate fit for Taylor Grey. The 19-year- old Taylor has old soul pouring out of her; out of her lyrics, her music, her songs, her very being. Taylor tapped into her innate wisdom—without realizing it—as early as second grade expressing herself through musical theatre in the Bay Area where she grew up, and continues to live. Her music endeavors started with lyric writing in late elementary school. It wasn’t until the start of high school, however, and her experimenting—self- taught—on guitar and piano, creating music to accompany her words, that she starting coming into her own. This affinity toward music is an instinctive one for Taylor who has always absorbed the sounds around her—from the radio, from friends’ playlists, from her parents’ limited record collections—turning them into part of her musical make-up. To this end, her tastes range from The Eagles, who are the all-time favorite, to Frankie Valli, The Beach Boys, Dion & The Belmonts, Sublime, and NWA. There is no restriction to what catches her ear: ‘40s jazz and pop, ‘50s R&B and rock ‘n’ roll, ‘60s folk and psychedelia, late ‘70s and early ‘80s classic rock, ‘90s hip hop, and modern day singer/songwriters. “There are songs that we jam and work on and write in the studio, but I’m a stickler about being the lyricist and doing the melody,”.
