AUSTIN, TX, July 27, 2011 /Entertainment PR News/ -- Austin, Texas' John Gaar continues to leave his mark throughout the music scene, leaving lasting impressions on listeners and promoters with a fascinating, organic sound which is riddled with Americana. By blending blues, folk, rock, and jazz, this experienced musical veteran continues to strive for greatness, enjoying success with his previous efforts while continuing to diversify and expand his sound. 2011 sees Gaar releasing a brand new collection of brilliant pieces, wrapped up in a bluesy shell with all the rock trimmings, dubbed The Brighter Side of Maybe.
With years of musical experience, Gaar has honed his guitar skills to a razor sharp edge, pushing the limits of traditional roots rock while adding in his own style and flair, which constantly revitalizes and refreshes the listener. As the sole songwriter of the material, he has taken his abilities to new plateaus with The Brighter Side of Maybe, while building upon his first landmark release, Bittersweet Success. By utilizing lyrics steeped in personal reflection and harnessing an innate ability to tell weaving, captivating stories, Gaar continues to keep fans on the edge of their seats with each chord and chorus that passes by.
After making waves throughout the Austin scene in the mid-2000s, local media began to swarm around one of the city's growing stars, as he appeared on the local FOX network, along with other channels to promote Bittersweet Success. While drawing comparisons to Neal Young, Nickelback, Marshall Tucker, Kenny Wayne Shepard and other rock and roll stars, fans from coast to coast began to awaken to Gaar's intoxicating sound. With a white knuckled, relentless approach to touring and traveling, he played upwards of 300 shows per year, exhibiting a steely will and passionate love for music which shone through right onto the stage on a nightly basis.
Tradition Magazine was just one of the publications to pick up on his budding success, saying "His originals are right up with the masters, as is his playing and obvious stage presence!"
Following the release of The Brighter Side of Maybe, Gaar and his supporting cast will be taking their show on the road once again, aiming to hit a plethora of cities throughout the rest of 2011. With the addition of a new booking agent, the band hopes to promote the next blockbuster release while illustrating Gaar's ability to transcend the typical Southern rock musician and propel himself in a league of his own. With radio airplay stretching from KLBJ in Austin, Texas to FCCR in Australia, and potential song placements, festivals, and further exposure lurking on the horizon, the future for Gaar is as bright as it's ever been.
"The ten tracks that make up the album come together to create a release that all but begs the listener to just let the album play out in its entirety. For only a second solo release, John Gaar has created something in Brighter Side of Maybe that will be hard to top," said Matheson Kamin in his review for The Rock and Roll Report, honoring the record with a perfect five star rating.
Kamin also gave accolades to Gaar's esteemed producer, Ron D'Argenio, saying "the two started with a rock base and then added different elements to each track to produce songs that had the variety to keep the album fresh from the first note to the last."
The Brighter Side of Maybe is currently available through Gaar's official website or CD Baby and digital downloads can be purchased through iTunes or Amazon.
