American Authors Since releasing their debut album Oh, What a Life in 2014, New York-based pop-rock outfit American Authors have experienced milestones most bands only dream about. They’ve watched their music climb to the top of the charts and seen singles go multi-platinum. They’ve played awards shows, hit the stages of legendary venues all over the world and toured the world with bands such as Andy Grammar, OAR, OneRepublic, The Revivalists and The Fray. Their anthemic hit single “Best Day of My Life” has been featured in over 600 movie trailers, TV shows, commercials and as a theme song for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Despite these accolades, lead singer Zac Barnett vows that the best day of their lives is still yet to come. “We just want to keep going,” he says. “We can’t wait to continue this adventure.” KT Tunstall KT Tunstall has never been one for creative stasis. The Grammy-nominated and Brit Award winning Scottish musician burst onto the music scene with her 2004 multi-platinum debut Eye To The Telescope, immediately establishing herself as a dynamic musical force to be reckoned with. Nearly two decades later, her career has traversed a wide sonic terrain – encompassing introspective folk, ferocious rock and experimental electro-pop. Tunstall has remained one of the most iconic live performers of her generation, known for her remarkable vocals that can veer from soulful to rasping blues to folk pop balladry. KT’s music balances raw emotion with visceral energy and her shows are interspersed with an endearing and often very funny line in between song chat.
