SECONDHAND SERENADE

SECONDHAND SERENADE AWAKE 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR After A 16 Year Absence From Australia, Secondhand Serenade return for 3 very special shows backed by a Symphony String Section From the raw, heartfelt strums of a lone acoustic guitar in a Californian bedroom to global stages filled with thousands singing his lyrics, John Vesely, better known asSECONDHAND SERENADE, has carved a legacy that is undeniable. Hard work and raw emotion are a given, but it’s Vesely’s undeniable talent as a songwriter, vocalist and performer, paired with an unrelenting connection to his fans, that sets him far above. In the 20 years since releasing the debut album,_Awake_, Secondhand Serenade has become a cornerstone of the emo-pop movement. Vesely’s soul-baring anthems strike at the heart and are the soundtrack and voice to many of the MySpace generation. SECONDHAND SERENADE’s live performances are a tidal wave of feelings. Vulnerability, hope and angst all set against an array of soaring melodies and the kind of authenticity that leaves you spellbound. From the multiple platinum anthems _Fall For You_, _Your Call_ and _Maybe_, to more recent tracks like _Find Somebody Else_, _Edge Of A Riot_, and _Not Enough_, Vesely’s shows are a journey through love, loss and redemption.  And what better way to experience the full emotional odyssey of these peerless songs than with a backing orchestral string section!
