If you haven’t yet heard of this pop‐flavored alt rock four piece well then, prepare yourself, because thats about to change… Offering up an emotional and propulsive mix of summery indie pop and meticulously crafted, commercial modern rock, the band fall somewhere in between the heady introspection of Alt‐J, the arena‐sized folk‐rock of Mumford & Sons, and the urban, heartfelt grandeur of Fun. Formed in Boston by Zac Barnett (vocals), James Adam Shelley (guitar/banjo), Dave Rublin (bass), and Matt Sanchez (drums) while the four were attending the Berklee College of Music, the quartet eventually dropped out and relocated to Brooklyn. American Authors inked a deal with Island Records in 2012 and now release their eponymous debut album!

It’s a symbol of strength, resilience and renewal and one that appropriately reflects Bentley’s first album since the death of his father and the birth of his first son. Produced by Ross Copperman and Arturo Buenahora Jr, it's a project full of sonic power that has a strong sense of family and community. The community of songwriters, musicians and artists that Bentley moved to Nashville with dreams of joining is ingrained in the texture of RISER. The now 11 time GRAMMY nominated singer/songwriter co‐wrote six of the album's 12 tracks with some of the city’s most acclaimed writers and his friends. He also called on rising artists Kacey Musgraves, Chris Stapleton, The Cadillac Three's Jaren Johnston and Charlie Worsham to sing and play on the project. Buy!
