Continuing to bring out the best and brightest with another edition of Artist Spotlight! Today, we head over to my favorite borough in New York, Brooklyn and come across the ever vibrant sounds of American Authors. The band consists of Zac Barnett, James Adam Shelley, Matt Sanchez, and Dave Rublin. While the band's primary base is in Brooklyn, the band can proudly trace their roots back to the Boston area where the members met while attending Berklee College of Music and originally performed under the name The Blue Pages before relocating to NYC in 2010. The band's music is a virtual smorgasbord of organic and eclectic folk mixed in with an indie rock aesthetic that shows off the band's real image that they worked so hard to cultivate all these years, and are beginning to move up the ranks as of right now. I first came across the guys this past summer while hearing their song "Best Day of My Life" used in a commercial for the MLB Fan Cave and I was amazed with the upbeat and positive nature of the song, something that we could all use a heaping dose of these days and can be implemented in all other musical quadrants elsewhere as well. These guys have a pure and nurtured talent that is yearning to be shared with everyone, and you can easily comprehend the positive message that is embedded within their music if you listen to the lyrics very closely. An immensely talented group that I'm so proud has its roots traced back to Beantown.
