About John Brodeur and Tiger Pop Ten

New York musician John Brodeur has launched a major nationwide tour in support of his upcoming Tiger Pop Ten double CD, a set that includes the now out-of-print, critically adored 2001 album Tiger Pop along with an all new, full band re-make of the album, appropriately titled Tiger Pop Ten.

The new CD also includes a band new track, “Masterpiece” (MP3). The song displays Brodeur’s greatest strengths, easily and breezily showing off why his tunes have earned such praise over the years. This addition to Tiger Pop Ten was written just as the original album was completed.

To kick off the Tiger Pop Ten tour (which includes more than a half-dozen performances at next week’s SXSW festival), Brodeur performed the album track “Confidentially” on Philadelphia’s NBC-TV morning program “The 10! Show.”  See the performance here: http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/shows/10-show/John_Brodeur_Performs_Philadelphia-117425638.html.

Tiger Pop Ten is a celebration of the relationships that went into it – something we can all share as a reminder of our time together,” Brodeur says of the collaborative nature of the new version. “Without road maps – the original Tiger Pop sessions were quite carefully plotted – the songs found their own identities. They’re still part of my DNA, but they’ve also become their own beings.”

See below for tour dates.  John Brodeur is available for interviews.  Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.
