"We used to play Harpers Ferry (the previous incarnation of Brighton Music Hall) once a month when we were in school," Barnett said.
The band will spend most of May touring Australia. The Boston show is part of a 22-date national tour, and we caught up with Barnett before the American Authors show in Virginia Beach, Virginia. And "Best Night of My Life" is another anthemic ode to having fun with your friends and finding happiness in the moment.įirst stop, Fairhaven: HGTV's 'Houses with History' returns for second season next month "Blind Love" features a surreal video where the theme is simply the exhilarating quality of being in love. The new album has some striking singles and videos that have already captured attention, like "We Happy," a buoyant number whose video depicts Barnett finding a lost dog, falling in love with the adorable border collie, only to have the owner show up to claim him – but luckily the owner is a pretty woman, and our man falls all over again. The new album is also the first one on which the Authors wrote and produced the entire album themselves. Original member James Adam Shelley, who played guitar and banjo, has left the band, and they'll continue as a trio, with Zac Barnett on vocals and guitar, Dave Rublin on bass and Matt Sanchez on drums.
There are some notable changes with the new album, which came out this week but has been yielding singles and videos for several months now. American Authors has a knack for creating uplifting anthems with singalong choruses, and their music has thus far earned more than a billion streams from online fans.
#SONG BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE TV#
Their 2014 single "Best Day of My Life" went triple platinum and has since been used in one form or another in a number of films ("How to Train Your Dragon 2"), TV shows ("The Vampire Diaries"), and commercials. When they finished school and moved to New York City after 2010, they changed their moniker to American Authors and began recording their own brand of bright, upbeat tunes that would soon make them international headliners. One reason Boston-area music fans don't always remember American Authors is that the band was known as The Blue Pages when it first formed in 2006, while all four members were attending Berklee College of Music. Go ahead and call it the rock 'n' roll version of "The Curse of the Bambino" if you want, but the band has just released its fourth album, and its "Best Night of My Life" tour touches down at Brighton Music Hall on Sunday night. American Authors is one of the most successful Boston-bred bands of the past couple of decades, but most of their success came after they moved to New York City.
