Portland, OR - World-renowned, multi-platinum
rockers Everclear are thrilled to announced that they will be touring
the United States and select Canadian markets this spring to celebrate the 20th
anniversary of So Much For The Afterglow. Everclear will perform the
entire So Much For The Afterglow album, including hit songs "Everything
to Everyone," "I Will Buy You a New Life," "Father
of Mine," "So Much For the Afterglow," and "One
Hit Wonder," along with tracks from the rest of the band's extensive
discography. Tickets are on sale now. For more information, please visit: www.everclearmusic.com.
On the upcoming tour, lead singer Art Alexakis
shares: "It's hard to believe we made this record 20 years ago.
Even though I'm in a different place now than the guy who first wrote and sang
these songs, and even though faces, voices, and relationships change, the songs
still feel relevant and vital every time we play them live. I can't wait to
play the whole record for the first time with the guys in Everclear now. It's
going to be awesome!"
For over two decades, Everclear's sound has reflected the rock,
post-punk, and singer/songwriter influences of Art Alexakis, including
acts like X, the Replacements, the Pixies, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and
Elvis Costello. The band found success with their first three albums on Capitol
Records, Sparkle and Fade, So Much for the Afterglow, and Songs from
an American Movie Vol. One: Learning How to Smile, which were all certified
platinum. In 2015 the band released their ninth studio album titled Black
Is The New Black via The End Records/ADA. Everclear is comprised
of Art Alexakis (Vocals/Guitar), Freddy Herrera (Bass/Background
Vocals), Davey French (Guitar/Background Vocals), and Jake
Margolis (Drums).
In an effort to address a critical charitable need, Everclear will
be donating $1 per ticket sold at each show to Sweet
Relief Musicians Fund, an organization that provides financial assistance to career
musicians, venue workers, production staff, crew members, and their families
suffering from injury, illness or disability. Funds raised from the tour
will pay for medical procedures, doctor visits, prescriptions, and vital living
expenses.
"Sweet Relief is enormously grateful to Everclear and
everyone connected to the So Much For The Afterglow 20th Anniversary Tour for
this incredibly generous donation, and the funds raised will help hundreds of
desperate musicians and music industry workers in critical need," said
Bill Bennett, President of Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.
