Still in a Fight
is a pop opera chronicling the emotional highs and lows of a failed
relationship. Zanos’ first album Somewhere
in the Middle featured the song “Secrets and Lies,” which was a Top 20
finalist in the first ever American Idol Songwriting Competition. Zanos has received honors from the 2006 We
Are Listening Awards (Berklee College of Music), the 22nd Annual
Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest, and the Billboard World Song Contest and
opened shows for Aerosmith, Meat Loaf, and more in the summer of 2007. Zanos regularly plays both solo and full band
sets in the New York
metro area.
Music industry veteran Jerry Lembo, who manages Zanos,
comments that “The opportunity to open for Matt White, whose network extends to
the highest levels of Interscope, Geffen, Universal Music Group, EMI Music
Publishing, CAA, W Management and Hegleman Creative Management is very
exciting. It gives Byron a chance to
extend his core audience in the northeast to the southern region.”
FiveTimesAugust is touring in support of their upcoming CD The
Brighter Side, in stores March 18th. Songs from the disc have been featured on
MTV’s Real World .
