	NYC Singer Songwriter Clinton Curtis Announces Album Pre-Order, Joe’s Pub gig on March 5, and Deluxe Super Fan Edition Package	03.02.2011

Critical Praise For Clinton Curtis: "He's taken the best Caribbean influences, mixed them with his favorite R&B, added some influential soul a little skiffle and some country and western and served the whole dish up for you to adopt as part of the soundtrack of your life." - Time Out New York "Curtis has a strong dosage of Bruce Springsteen-the-storyteller in him." - SPIN magazine Jamaica born, NYC bred singer songwriter Clinton Curtis is pleased to announce that his sophomore album 2nd Avenue Ball (3/22/11 on 27 Sound) is available for pre-order today and that he will be performing the album in its entirety at Joe’s Pub with his full band this Saturday, March 5th. Being a huge proponent of rewarding super fans for their loyalty, Clinton has set aside a limited number (50) of deluxe super fan editions of the album that include 10 items, many of which are one-of-a-kind such as autographed gatefold 12” vinyl packaging, each containing a different LP from his personal collection with a note from Clinton explaining what that particular album meant to him, a limited edition print of the cover artwork autographed by illustrator Matthew Burrows, a special recording of a song of your choosing done personally for you by Clinton, and more. As a wink to the devaluation of the CD format, he even includes a DIY “Turn This CD Into A Coaster” kit! Clinton will performing with his band this Saturday, March 5th at Joe's Pub (425 Lafayette St, NYC) at 9:30pm. Often compared to Van Morrison for his sound and Bruce Springsteen for his storytelling, Clinton’s music is a reflection of all the various musical genres he’s been exposed to his whole life. From Country to Reggae, from Blues to Bach, Clinton Curtis is a throwback to the great songwriters of the 1960’s with the musical versatility and voice of a new artist set to making his mark on today’s popular music landscape. To taste test some free music, click here for the first singles from 2nd Avenue Ball, “2nd Avenue Ball” and “Only Way Out,” Clinton’s reggae’d up version of Van Morrison’s “And It Stoned Me,” and the song “Best You Can” from his Tainted Blue Acoustic Session EP.

The Background: Clinton Curtis grew up between the islands of Jamaica and Key West. The son of musicians and reggae dance hall owners, Clinton was always surrounded by music and as a child he learned from local greats, including Gregory Isaacs and Desmond Dekker. By the time he was 5 years old, Clinton was considered a classical piano prodigy and by the age of 10, he had picked up the guitar and bass. When he turned 17, Clinton moved to New York to study acting at NYU, and decided to write and perform his original music. While gigging around town, Clinton caught the attention of producer Matt Stine and signed to Stine's indie label 27 Sound. Under his new label, Clinton's first album, Smoldering Youth, was released thus unveiling Clinton's self-proclaimed style of "21st century rock & roll" to the world. After successfully touring the East Coast and selling over 2,000 records, Clinton is teaming up with Stine again to release his second full-length album, 2nd Avenue Ball on March 22nd, 2011.
