Don Amero: Up Close & International CD to be Released Online
On October 24 at 8:00pm CST, Don’s fourth album will be introduced during an interactive evening of songs and stories. Don Amero: Up Close & International is a 90-minute concert that will steam live online at www.aptn.ca/webstagepass. We hope you will consider tuning in.
Don will be joined by special guests to perform material from his new album, previous fan favourites, and the world premiere of the music video for Turn These Grey Skies Blue. There will be opportunity for Q & A on Twitter(#DonAmero) and Facebook forums – all happening live from Winnipeg.
Leading up to the house concert, Don embarked on a fall tour to promote the upcoming CD release. A portion of proceeds from the tour will go to www.canadianfeedthechildren.ca – helping children right here in our own country.
ABOUT DON AMERO
You can call Winnipeg’s Don Amero one of the hardest working independent musicians in showbiz today. Since leaving his job as a hardwood flooring installer five years ago to pursue music fulltime, the singer/songwriter has toured coast-to-coast, headlined concerts, presented at festivals, performed with the symphony, and played national television.
Don’s musical style has been likened to John-Mayer-meets-Keith-Urban. His three albums (Change Your Life, Deepening, The Long Way Home) have generated five national and international awards – Best Country Song (2012 Indian Summer Music Awards), Aboriginal Recording of the Year (2011 Western Canadian Music Awards), Best Folk Recording (2011 Native American Music Awards), Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year (2009 Canadian Folk Music Awards), Male Artist of the Year (2009 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards) – and 21 more nominations.
Heart On My Sleeve is Don’s fourth album, and a self-produced labour of love. He proudly calls it his most personal album to date, and if you listen from beginning to end, it tells a story. On the radio front, Don has seen four songs climb to #1 on the National Aboriginal Countdown. On commercial radio, two tracks – Turn These Grey Skies Blue and original holiday song All I Need This Christmas – earned notable “most active download” designations on DMDS.com, and were spun on stations across Canada.
Don Amero has a way of captivating audiences of all ages with his powerful vocals, percussion-style guitar play, and engaging storytelling. He is often called upon as a keynote speaker, and to deliver workshops for youth. His story inspires, and his message is one of encouragement, positivity and beauty. He continues to impress wherever he goes.
