Summerfest

Yo what's up friends. A lot has happened in the past few weeks! I've been busy writing and playing shows, which has been a blast. I went out to Summerfest this past weekend to play a couple sets and see some amazing shows…311, Earth Wind Fire, The Bravery, all amazing. Summerfest is the world's largest Music Festival:



The most mind blowing part of the whole experience had to be when I was backstage loading out after my last set of the day when the Jonas Brothers were coming out right after their set. For the first time in my life I realized what the Beatles must have felt as thousands of estrogen infused tween girls nearly trampled me to get to them. Its quite a sight to see a twelve year old girl scaling a chain link fence, tears in her eyes, professing her unabashed love for Nick Jonas. In all it was such a fun place to play. Thanks to all who came out and watched. I'm heading in the studio this month to track some new stuff. I'll post it soon :0) Also, head over to www.youtube.com/rickseibold where I've been blogging with videos each week!

 

Summer and CMA Week

To start off, this blog is sponsored by whole foods

supplier of the best gelato west of italy in all the world, of which I have consumed entirely too much already this summer.

This blog is also sponsored by this lady, because for one week here in Nashville, everyone attending CMA week disregards sensible fashion.

The Last few weeks have been awesome... a few shows, a few cookouts, a lot of fun in the sun. I’m getting excited because my next record is beginning to take shape. I've got the songs set, I hope to begin tracking in a month or so. I figured out how to you tube stuff with my new mac book pro, so I'm gonna start putting videos up of new songs :0) check it at www.youtube.com/rickseibold. Tennessee is starting to get hot this time of year, which makes me miss the beach. I grew up in Wilmington, NC and lived every summer on Wrightsville Beach. When it got hot, you got in the ocean. In Tennessee when it gets hot, you go inside, which isn't as much fun. I need friends with swimming pools. If anyone wants to share, let me know. It has been nice to slow down a bit in the last few weeks and spend time with good friends. I've been pretty busy the last 6 months or so with the release of my record. My cousin who I haven't talked to in a couple of years texts me and tells me my picture is in Southwest Airlines Spirit Magazine in and article on Nashville Songwriters, right next to Taylor Swift, Rivers Rutherford, and Hillary Lindsey, which I had no idea about. So if you're on a flight this month, grab me a copy cause I want to see it :0) I'm guess I'm just rambling on now. Hope you all are well and in good spirit.

Rick Seibold Press Release

Independent Artist Rick Seibold

Spends 12 Weeks in iTunes Top 100 Charts

New York City, June 1--Recording artist Rick Seibold is proud to announce that as a completely independent artist, his debut album, "That's the Day," has spent twelve weeks in the iTunes Top 100 Pop Charts. This puts Seibold's first record among the top selling independent albums of 2008, reaching as high as 27 on Jan 26th and marking nearly 25,000 units since the beginning of the year. In addition, "That's the Day" reached as high as 3 in Canada and 18 in the United Kingdom.

Even more impressive is that Seibold accomplished this without a record company. The album's success came on the back of viral internet sites like Myspace and Facebook, and it is fueled by the enthusiasm of his young fans.  "It really comes down to people loving the music and then passing it on to their friends," Seibold says. "That's how this whole thing grew so fast."

Rick's internet fan base flocked to him for his fun, easy going Jack Johnson or Colbie Caillat-like sound and lyrics inspired by his upbringing on the beaches of Wilmington, NC.  More recently he has called Brooklyn, N.Y. and Nashville, Tenn. home as he hones his craft with mood-changing melodies and catchy choruses.

"Rick Seibold presents songs about love, learning and coming of age with a knack for smart and often catchy melodies... it's sure to make any young female listener swoon," says Alyssa Rashbaum (MTV, Spin, Vibe).

"You know, I hope my music will be something comfortable for anyone listening to it," Seibold says.  "Whether you're in the middle of a New York City blizzard or a Seattle rain, I hope you can put on my record and it'll make you feel like summer time."
