The Overtones to open for Matt Goss at the Royal Albert Hall

Warner Music is excited to announce that its latest signing, The Overtones, will be opening for critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Matt Goss, when he brings his smash hit 'Matt Goss Live' show to the Royal Albert Hall on the 19th October. Set to wow audiences on this side of the Atlantic for the first time, the show will be coming to the UK fresh from Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and The Overtones are honoured to be opening for Matt on this very special night.

The five vintage music loving ex-painters and decorators will be lending their smooth vocal harmonies to classic repertoire and nostalgic sounding original songs for their exciting live performance.

The Overtones lead singer Timmy said 'Matt is an inspiring musician and performer and we're thrilled to be opening for him at the Royal Albert Hall this October. We've gone from earning a crust painting and decorating to performing at the Royal Albert Hall, one of London's most beautiful and famous venues. It really is a dream come true for us.'

As the freshest 'man' band on the block, they trace their musical heritage all the way back to the vocal harmony groups of the 30's and 40's like The Ink Spots, the stars of the doo-wop explosion of the late 50s and 60s including The Drifters, The Platters & Dion and The Belmonts right through to the recent performers like Billy Joel & Michael Buble.

The Overtones landed the job of their dreams when a talent scout from the record company that propelled many of music's most popular artists to superstardom overheard the decorating team singing during a tea break whilst working off Oxford Street in London's West End. Impressed by the performance they were invited to try out in front of executives from the label and were rewarded with a deal.

The big break has lead to them recording their debut album entitled 'Good Ol Fashioned Love' due for release on November 29th. The album showcases a series of both original pop songs and classic 50's and 60's covers. The first single Gambling Man will also be released on the same day and was written by the boys themselves.

Dubbed 'The Hottest Vegas Act.' by the LA Times, Matt Goss recently exploded back onto the music scene as a solo artist, headlining at Caesars Palace with a Robin Antin (Pussycat Doll's creator) produced show 'Matt Goss Live', alongside his worldwide album release, Gossy. The successful show has seen Matt dubbed as 'the leader of a new Rat Pack of Las Vegas stars' (Las Vegas Weekly), by fans and critics alike; picking up where greats such as Sinatra left off, whilst stylishly bringing the great Vegas Legacy into the 21st Century.

The London-born crooner was lead vocalist for the British teen-sensation Bros, burning up the pop charts in Europe and Australia, and selling out Wembley Stadium when he was just 20 to a massive crowd in excess of 70,000 fans. Bros had thirteen Top 5 singles and sold over 16 million albums, headlining two global tours playing in the biggest venues across the planet.

Matt relocated to Los Angeles from the UK and has been consistently working as a successful songwriter & performer, co-writing with such artists as Keri Hilson, Akon. He will be performing a hit-studded set that will include some of his biggest Bros-era songs as well as some of his critically-acclaimed new material and his take on some of the greatest songs ever written. This is bound to be one of the classiest shows you'll see this year, so dust off your best black tie attire and join Matt Goss as he effortlessly brings all the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas to the Royal Albert Hall this October.
