Evan Taubenfeld to tour with Secondhand Serenade

Sire Records artist Evan Taubenfeld will hit the road for a fall tour with Secondhand Serenade. The nationwide string of dates kicks off September 3rd in Las Vegas, NV and runs through October 4th in Minneapolis, MN. The singer, songwriter, and guitarist will be previewing songs from his upcoming debut album, entitled Welcome to the Blacklist Club, which is due out this fall.

Produced by John Fields (Jonas Brothers, Switchfoot, Lifehouse), Welcome to the Blacklist Club is a self-assured set of thoroughly addictive, radio-ready pop-rock anthems that showcase Taubenfeld's melodic gifts, driving rhythmic sensibility, and engaging personality on such songs as first single "Boy Meets Girl," "Pumpkin Pie," and "Cheater of the Year."

Fans of Avril Lavigne will already be familiar with Taubenfeld's musical talent. The 26-year-old Baltimore native was Lavigne's musical director and lead guitarist from 2001 to 2004. He co-wrote several tracks on her last two albums, including the gold single "Don't Tell Me" from Under My Skin and "Hot" from her latest release The Best Damn Thing, and toured the world with her in support of her 6x-platinum debut Let Go. He has also written and produced music for such up-and-coming artists as rapper Tyga, hip-hop group The Pack, and Japanese pop group Oreskaband, as well as for several MTV shows including Kaya and Pageant Place.

Since completing work on his album, Evan has been criss-crossing the country, touring with The Academy Is...and performing at numerous radio shows. He will also be supporting Metro Station on a run of dates later this month. For more on Evan, check out his official website at www.evantaubenfeld.com or visit www.myspace.com/evantaubenfeld.
