UPCOMING SUMMER TOUR DATES WITH
ANDY GRAMMER, AMERICAN AUTHORS
May 19, 2015 - New York's own AJR just performed their current single "Infinity" on NBC's The Today Show this morning. The
breakout indie pop trio joined Kathie Lee and Hoda, with guest co-host
Elvis Duran, for a chat, before blowing them away with their
performance.

Following
on from last year's Certified Gold smash "I'm Ready," "Infinity" is
already making similar waves. The "stripped-back, folk-tinged pop song,"
as Idolator described it, is now in heavy rotation on SiriusXM's
Hits1 and climbing their Weekend Countdown chart, currently holding the
#14 spot. The single features on recently released debut album Living Room
(AJR Productions/Warner Bros. Records), completely self-penned, -mixed,
and -produced by the band in the living room of their NYC apartment.

The
three brothers will return to the road this summer, heading out on tour
with Andy Grammer. Co-written by AJR's own middle brother, Ryan,
Grammer's "Back Home" has been exploding in the charts lately, and was
performed just last week on the American Idol finale by Grammer and this year's Idol winner
Nick Fradiani. AJR will join Andy Grammer for his LA and New York dates
in June, as well as the East Coast leg of his tour in August alongside
American Authors. A full list of dates is below, and at ajrbrothers.com.
AJR got their musical start ten years ago, busking on the streets and in the parks of New York. After
their earnings enabled them to buy the basic tools to get started,
Adam, Jack and Ryan sat down to begin writing their own brand of pop
music. Raised on the vinyl of the '50s and '60s, AJR was initially
inspired by the likes of The Beach Boys and Simon & Garfunkel, but
the sound they've created has now been favorably compared to a modern
mix of those classic sounds, with flavors of Imagine Dragons, Fun., and
even hip-hop production elements reflecting Kanye West.
"Pop
has almost become the 'Anti-Pop' genre, where it's ashamed to be
itself," says Ryan. "There was a great time in the '60s where artists
would lift the pop genre up to a new standard instead of avoiding it
completely. One of our major goals as a band is to make 'pop' something
cool again--something creative and innovative, like it was 50 years
ago."
