Alan Semerdjian may be the best singer/songwriter you've never heard of...until now. He has played over 900 shows in the last dozen years or so, placed his music in tv and film, played on wfuv (his favorite radio station - thank you, John P.), charted on cmj, and earned the respect of lots of critics and fans along the way. After several years of performing in various bands in several genres, he self-released "When There Was Something Wrong With You" in 2005 and traveled across the country on three separate mini-tours to support it. His new collection of songs titled "The Big Beauty" (produced by Mike Bloom of Rilo Kiley and The Elected) features an incredible bunch of musicians, friends, and special guests who come together to create a sweet kind of semipop indiefolk acoustic rock music. Though his most commercially-accessible work to date, The Big Beauty retains the gutsy inventiveness and integrity that make Alan Semerdjian one of New York City’s most unique and interesting voices.
