EVER-

In A
Different
Light
For
Art
Alexakis,
charismatic frontman and
driving force behind the
multi-platinum powerhouse
Everclear, there’s
truly no debate about evolution.
If you’re not growing
and changing and getting
creative with your
classic songs over time, he
says, “then you’re not a
band, you’ve become a
jukebox!” And every so
often, to remind yourself
that making music is still
the invigorating joy it’s
always been, it’s a great
idea to take a look back at
your classic songs, as
Alexakis does on
Everclear’s 429 Records
EVERCLEAR 7 PM
debut, In A Different Light.
Nearly fifteen years
since his Portland, Oregon
based unit captured the
hearts of Gen-Xers and
rock fans everywhere—and
hit #1 on Billboard’s Hot
Mainstream Rock Tracks
chart—with “Santa
Monica” and their Top 30
Capitol Records album
Sparkle and Fade, the happily
restless singer/songwriter
gears up for
Everclear’s next phase by
taking a unique, organic
look back at “Santa
Monica” and a personal
selection of eight more of
their biggest hits and fan
favorites from throughout
their career: “Learning
How To Smile,” “I Will
Buy You A New Life,”
“Summerland,”
“Everything To Everyone,”
“Wonderful,” “Father Of
Mine,” “Rock Star” and

“The
Maple
Song.”
The
dynamic
new set
also features
two
new
Alexakis
penned
tunes, “Here Comes The
Darkness” (originally
recorded for their 2006
first post-Capitol set
Welcome To The Drama
Club, but never before
released) and the infectious
first single “At The
End Of The Day,” featuring
backing vocals by performers
in Portland’s
underground funk gospel
scene, including soul
singer Liv Warfield. While
Alexakis is hitting the road
in spurts this fall starting
October 5 in New York
with a new lineup that will
debut on Everclear’s highly
anticipated next album
(bassist Freddy Herrera,
drummer Jordan Plosky,
keyboardist Sasha Smith
and guitarist Johnny
Hawthorn), he is joined on
In A Different Light by the
Everclear ensemble of 2003-
2009 (guitarist Davey
French, keyboardist Josh
Crawley, bassist Sam
Hudson) and drummer
Tommy Stewart.
