Alan Semerdjian
Alan Semerdjian is ready to release a new batch of songs with the right record label or licensing/distribution company. He has played over 900 shows in the last dozen years or so, placed his music in tv and film, played on wfuv (his favorite radio station - thank you, John P.), charted on cmj, and earned the respect of lots of critics and fans along the way. After several years of performing in alternative/indie/experimental rock bands, he self-released "When There Was Something Wrong With You" in 2005 and traveled across the country on three separate mini-tours to support it. His new collection of songs (tentatively called "The Big Beauty" and produced by Mike Bloom of Rilo Kiley and The Elected) is his most accessible work to date and features an incredible bunch of musicians, friends, and special guests who come together to create a sweet kind of semipop indiefolk acoustic rock music that is both intimate and playful, hauntingly poetic, spirited, and uniquely unforgettable.
