The Bittersweets On One Tree Hill
On January 19th, "When the World Ends" was featured on One Tree Hill on the WB.
----------
The Bittersweets reviewed in Blurt!
"Mostly, they make for an immediate embrace, manifest in the compelling choruses
of "Wreck," "Bordertown" and the anthemic title track, as well as the hushed repose of "Is Anyone Safe," "Lies" and "When the War is Over." Ultimately, Goodnight San Francisco makes for a lovely nocturnal encounter,
even though it finds darkness falling fast."
----------
Country Music Television writes...
"I am not ambivalent about the Bittersweets, a rootsy band that recently moved
from San Francisco to Nashville. I think they’re 100 percent terrific."
----------
The Nashville Scene writes...
"The Bittersweets build their pop-folk arrangements around the alto of Hannah
Prater, who sports a sure-handed, easy sultriness in her lower register and a
fragile beauty when shifting to a higher tone. But the trio's new album, Goodnight,
San Francisco, eventually reveals that the band's greatest assets are the insightful,
conversational lyrics of guitarist Chris Meyers, who has found a lovely delivery
system in Prater's voice."
-----------
The Tennessean writes...
"Dumb luck is meeting a high-powered music attorney at a party and sliding into
a record deal that way. This band's fortunes have more to do with Meyers' songs
and
Prater's dusky, evocative voice ...out
next Tuesday on Compass Records, Goodnight, San Francisco is a melancholy beauty,
built from melody and poetry."

Sorry it has been so long without an update. This is the first time in a long time that we haven't been touring nonstop, and it is easy to forget everyone what is going on. We have been spending a lot of time in Nashville writing and demoing some new stuff.
For those of you who are staying in on Sunday night, "Rapture", off of our first record is going to be featured on the Lifetime series Army Wives at 10/9c. Hope to see you soon!
In addition to being a musician, I am also the brother of the Director of Emergency Fundraising for the US Fund for UNICEF. Right now, 100% of all donations are going to actual aid - they are eating all of the administrative costs.
Any help that you can give to the people of Haiti is much needed and will go a long way.

Thanks so much for your help.

Wow - what a wonderful little run that was! Eddie's was amazing (as always), and on Sunday night we played to a full house at the debut of the new moonlight in Birmingham (and as the final small stages show of the season). What a wonderful location - right on top of a mountain looking out over everything. Thanks to all who made it out!
It has been quite a while! We'll be heading down to Atlanta and Birmingham this weekend for a couple of shows, and then laying low again in Nashville for the rest of the year.
We will be off to Europe in January and February and will have those dates posted VERY soon!
We have shows coming up in Manhattan, Plattsburgh, NY and Easton, MD. We'd love to see you if you're in one of those areas!
