New Full Length Album “Soul Variations”
LOS ANGELES, CA – Award winning artist AM will open dates with Michael Penn on Tuesday, April 24th at Iota in Arlington, Virginia and on Thursday, April 26th at Ramshead in Annapolis, Maryland. AM is also doing East Coast dates in Philadelphia, Boston, and New York ending with a performance at the Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey. Returning from showcasing at this year’s SXSW Music Festival and the Vail Film Festival with the Hotel Cafe, AM is preparing to release his second full length album on his own label Edgecliffe Music, entitled “Soul Variations” with presales beginning at the end of May 2007. AM’s critically acclaimed debut album “Troubled Times” is currently available nationwide in indie record stores, Best Buy, and Borders books and was included iTunes top 20 “Best Singer/Songwriter Albums of the Year”.
ALL 10 songs from AM’s debut album “Troubled Times” were placed in film and television shows (30 song placements to date!) including HBO's “Big Love”, MTV's “Real World,” and ABC's “What About Brian” - all before AM released his debut CD (!).

QUOTES
"This artist has been compared to Beck and Coldplay and we can hear some REM references creeping in. Whether it’s AM or PM this artist deserves some of your time...and he is set to find a new audience in the UK."
-THE HIT SHEET(UK)
"AM sounds like a mixture of Paul Simon and David Bowie."-GARY JULES
"...AM takes equal parts of classic Americana, folk-rock and pop, and melts them down into something entirely his own, and he does it with two things money can't buy: imagination and taste. These sturdily built pop songs are graced with ingeniously colorful arrangements and have that'instant classic' thing stamped all over them..." -John Payne, LA WEEKLY
"Muted electric guitar and understated, Beck-like vocals pave the road into AM’s musical world. Once you’re firmly rooted, he’ll hit you with the one-two punch of well-crafted songs and unbeatable melodies. “Troubled Times” features a well-placed piano line over the standard bass, drums, electric guitar and synth. “So Lonely” begins with a funky beat and interplay between acoustic and electric guitar; three-part harmonies and a wah-wah pedal offer support. Overall, the album demonstrates how great pop can be. AM has a real sense of how to set a chorus, and each one glistens and sparkles with extra instruments, synth pads and hooky guitar lines. With talent like this, we’ll surely see AM climb the ranks to the top." -PERFORMING SONGWRITER
"...could fit airplay on both contemporary rock and country radio stations. A clear, expressive voice similar to the style of James Taylor prevails when AM is performing solo. ...AM’s material provides deep soulful insights. "(Laura Phillips) -MUSIC CONNECTION
"With a debut album filled with songs that are laid-back while maintaining a lyrical bite... AM sounds like a cross between Mutations-era Beck and Pete Yorn and like them, he borrows liberally from country and rock, coming up with music that's a little bit different and not easily defined. He also mixes elements of folk and Americana with tight arrangements and stark lyrical content... AM's sound is a mix of genres and styles, and is apparently influenced a great deal by oldies radio, to good effect. All the songs are produced in an eerily similar way to those found on Pete Yorn's debut, with effects soaked percussion and multi-layered guitars. Over all, AM is a solid performer and album." (Beren Huett) -WEST COAST PERFORMER
"AM's strong sense of melody and song craft made him a stand-out at our unsigned act series, Billboard Underground: Live from the Knitting Factory. Though he's unsigned for now, we know that won't be the case for long."
-Billboard

“Long gone are the days when you could reach over and tune into a soft rock station on the AM dial in your auto. Long stretching old American steel just passing by. Do yah remember the glisten of real chrome bumpers flashing sunspots in your eyes as yah travel down the highway? Something’s remind me of those moments, the days of making out in the back of late 70’s Cougars, the moments when you were running past your curfew. AM turns back the timeline and makes the older days sound youthful again. With just a few essential instruments like bass, drums and guitars they help replay in the mind a familiar sounding voice. The tracks take me back to better days, softer moments and a time when worries were something uncommon. AM makes the world seem complete and I’d like to put him on my 8-track player and press repeat.” (DJ Radionic) –Crater-tech
******LYRICS FOR TROUBLED TIMES
GONE AWAY
I sit around
Nothing’s the same
I’m looking for answers
But I’m already late
You say you need me
One more night’
Then you’re packing your bags
Saying it’s all right
I don’t know why
I wait and I wait
I’m looking for something
But you’re not gonna change
Turn around and I see the hope fading
Now you’ve gone away
Keep on moving like you’re so unaware
You’re looking for answers but you’re already there
You see the road but you don’t the way
You’re coming around and then you’re pulling away
i don’t know why I wait and I wait
I’m looking for something but you’re not gonna change
Turn around and I see the hope fading
Now you’ve gone away
PLAYING THE GAME
Give me something to talk about
Take your time
Tell me something to do without
I’ll wait in line
I don’t know
What to say
Move along
Anyway
Take it slow
Lonely road
Is the path
That I seem to follow
All I want to do is be true to my ways
Leaning back and forward we’re playing the game
All this pain I’ve cause you I know it by name
Taking this ticket walking away
Taking all that has come and gone
You know we’re wrong
Watching everyone hum along
We’re still untold
Fall in love
Let it go
I don’t know
What it’s for
Take a stand
Falling down
Dig on in
Cuz it’s all that you’ve got now
TROUBLED TIMES
Waiting
You sit alone
Feelings have all faded
You’re wondering why you have stayed
You’re looking for some answers
Hoping there’s some other way
Just tell me when you’re ready
We’ll get you far far away
Far from these troubled times
Looking at the way you stand and fall
Seems like everything you’ve had is gone
Tell me that you’ve heard this all before
I’ll say it anyway
Leave this
You’ve seen that road
Just find another city
Get this out of your way
You’re hiding out wondering
How to get rid of this pain
You talk a bunch of nothing
Seems so easy to see
You’ve seen enough troubled times
SO LONELY
You once asked me
Why did I do it
Wasn’t nothing to it I found
Cuz you stole me
Thinking you owned me
But you’re so lonely now
And you were worried
Making up stories
Hoping I would be out
And you ruled me
Saying what would be
Now I just see you around
I’ll tell you something
You’re not gonna win this time because I’m through
You’re good for nothing
You saw right through me I don’t think you knew
Who the hell I was
And I was waiting
Thinking you were changing
Hoping you’d turn this around
But you were faking
Hanging on maybe
Now you’re just lost in the crowd
And you fooled me
Saying you knew me
You were just keeping me down
And you were crazy
Thinking you’d change me
Now I’m just walking on out
RUNNING AWAY
Did I tell you I knew your name
But it seems that I’ve lost it
Did I tell you it’s my own game
This is not your problem
I don’t know if I’m gonna change
Wasting time and another day
I keep running away
Even from the good things
DId I tell you it’s not that bad
Sitting over here dreaming
Did I tell you I’m right on track
This time I mean it
I don’t know if I’m gonna change
Wasting time and another day
I keep running away
Even from the good things
MAINSTAY
I don’t mean to tell you something about you
But you’re looking unsettled
Lone riders pulling all nighters
But you’re always nice and steady
Weigh stations got your troubles parading
But the problems never seem to hang on
Unabated so you must have been hated
Everybody’s got to clean up faking
I don’t wanna tell you cuz you’re looking that way
Fine tooth combing everyone that you know
Sit around and wonder how you keep up the mainstay
Take a look around can you fight this feeling
You’re fine looking but it seems you’re undusted
Have you anything to say
And roads traveled are desires unsaddled
But you’re going all the way
And I’ve fallen so you say that I’m wasted
But you’re moving on and doing nothin’
You’re losing faith in all the things that you’ve tasted
Don’t you know what you’re missing
CITY SYNDROME
Looking out at the city so bright
Not sure if it’s imagined or real
Show me something that you’d always want to hide
And then we’ll get away
You always wanted to say what you feel
But all those right hands keep telling you wrong
Got another who’s just stepping on your heels
Got to get away
Get away from
All these troubled and all of these lies
Find yourself a reason
Leave tonight
Take your chances
Feeling alright
And then we’ll fade away
Fade away tonight
Helpless highways looking alone
Seen nothing but the worst of your times
All in all it ‘s got you climbing up the walls
You gotta get away
Get away from
All these troubled and all of these lies
Find yourself a reason
Leave tonight
Take your chances
Feeling alright
And then we’ll fade away
Fade away tonight
WAYSIDE
It’s hard to come back when you’re far from home
Up all night with all that I’ve ever known
Wish I could give you things that you need
Wish I could need you but I walk alone
But I sit by the wayside
Feeling all that I’ve lost and found
We’ re so incomplete
But I know
I know I’ll never come around
But I’ve got you on my mind
Try to catch up but I fall behind
Too busy checking out what’s on the side
Wish I could tell you what you want to hear
Wish I could tell you that it’s all a lie
But I sit by the wayside
Feeling all that I’ve lost and found
We’ re so incomplete
But I know
I know I’ll never come around
But I’ve got you on my mind
HOME
Waiting for the sun to rise
Was it something I said
Feeling all that is right and wrong
Mixing up in my head
Won’t you just let me come around
Cuz you know that I can
Bring me back to just what I know
A home
I’m alone
All troubled pass in time
And we can make it through
You tell me that it’s not what I say
But what I can do
I can’t make it alone
I want to come home
Blinded by these city lights
Now they just got in the way
And it’s so lonely this evening town
It makes no sense anyway
Now it’s what you say that I’m riding on
Cuz all those times I let you down
You were there to stay
All troubles pass in time
And we can make it through
You tell me that it’s not what I say
But what I can do
I can’t make it alone
I want to come home
LOSING YOU
I saw a road that had no end
I wanted you
So I followed it
And what you take is what you should give
But the stories came
And the stories went
I gave so much of myself to you
But that’s alright
I wanted to
Nothing learned don’t know what to do
There’s no lesson here
I’m losing you
Now you wanted nothing we talked about
I thought I had
You figured out
I had so much to give you now
I was sure of you
But you had your doubts
Now don’t you worry you’re not to blame
I’ve been on your side
Playing those games
Now you’re just in a different place
There’s nothing left
Let’s walk away
