3 min read
One of the most popular and loved British bands return this Summer with their new album, 10. The album is cause for celebration; it marks their 10th anniversary and kicks off a flurry of exciting activity, including a 20 date UK tour in November and December. The anniversary album 10 is available to pre-order from this Friday and the first track, a special re-recording of their debut hit Gambling Man 2.0, is released today. It is available to stream and download on all digital platform now.
The brilliant video will premiere on YouTube this Friday, accompanied by a live Q&A with the four-piece. Gambling Man 2.0 is the first taster of what’s to come with 10. The highly anticipated album will feature reinvented versions of some of The Overtones’ best loved tracks, alongside brand-new songs and also includes a duet with long term friend of the band, Michael Ball.
Speaking about the 10th anniversary, The Overtones say: “2021 is all about bringing back the feel good and that’s what The Overtones do best. As we celebrate the past, dance in the present and sing for the future, we are so excited and blessed to release 10 and give The Overtones family their best night yet on our forthcoming tour!”.
Since bursting onto the UK music scene ten years ago, The Overtones have racked up platinum record sales, released 6 studio albums, scored four Top 10’s, sold out tours across the nation, performed for Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace and sang to one million people at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. They have firmly established themselves as one of the UK’s most popular live acts, best known for their exquisite vocals and distinctive style.
The four-piece, made up of Mark Franks, Darren Everest, Jay James and Mike Crawshaw, have mastered the perfect mix of originality with classic nostalgia, combined with their charm and effortless dance moves – and of course their perfectly-pitched harmonies. Having experienced loss, parenthood and a new line up during the past decade, the multi-talented foursome have never been closer and continue to perfect their craft for their adoring fans.
