Mike Viola with special guest Drew Beskin live at Eddie's Attic! Mike Viola Mike Viola is a producer, musician, songwriter and singer. Viola may be best known for his work with Panic! at the Disco, Andrew Bird, Ryan Adams, Jenny Lewis, Fall Out Boy and Mandy Moore, but his solo career stands on its own starting with a number of acclaimed records as the leader of New York based cult favorite Candy Butchers and 7 critically adored Mike Viola records. His original music has been featured on soundtracks for movies such as That Thing You Do!, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and Get Him to the Greek. Decades into his career, his music continues to resonate with and inspire new generations of musicians and music lovers. Viola is cranking out more music than ever, notably the recent fan- favorites, 2019’s “The American Egypt” and 2021’s “Godmuffin. A new Mike Viola album, “Paul McCarthy”, will be released on April 14, 2023 via Good Morning Monkey/Grand Phony in the US, Lojinx in Europe and Sony in Japan. Paul McCarthy was recorded over the summer of 2022 on 1/2” tape at “Barebones”, Viola’s home studio in Los Angeles. Joined by his friends Jake Sinclair on bass and Brendon Urie on drums. Viola says, “I set out to make a sonic monster using the legs of ‘James Gang Rides Again,’ the heart of Black Sabbath ‘Paranoid,’ with my kid brain inside my greying middle-aged head on top. I’ve hit a point in my life where instinct has taken the reins fully, logic now waits in the wings to sweep up the stage and pay the taxi fare home. This album is the result of committing to this path fully and laughing all the way.” Drew Beskin Drew Beskin & The Sunshine return in rare form with a new EP simply titled Garrett. Beskin views these 5 songs on Garrett as an opportunity to dwell on his favorite songwriting bad habits whilst pushing himself further creatively by exploring lengthy outros and experimenting with sounds not normally present in any Beskin/Sunshine recordings to date. The Sunshine is Tommy Trautwein (producer/guitar), Elijah Johnston (bass) and Gideon Johnston (drums). On Garrett, Beskin brought in Bennett Evans (A.D. Blanco) to shred on “Clockwork” and frequent collaborator Phillip Brantley and The District Attorneys members Chris Wilson and Walker Beard to create the classic rock sound of “It’s Hard to Walk Away (If You Never Move)”. Produced/Engineered by Tommy Trautwein & Nate Nelson for maximum team efforts. Beskin brings his nuanced approach to pop-rock songwriting from over a decade of releasing albums as a solo artist and frontman for The District Attorneys, Party Dolls and PURSES. When not working on his own projects, you may find him collaborating with many other artists/friends such as Tedo Stone, Cowboy Curtys, Elijah Johnston, Well Kept among others. His new EP with The Sunshine is the follow up to their landmark album 2022’s Somewhere Sideways Same As You and let’s never forget 2021’s critically praised Problematic for the People among other hits in the Beskin catalog. Garrett is out on all digital get downs 8/25 via Super Canoe/We Bought a Zoo Records.
