The Return Of Lee DeWyze
Yep, he's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaack....!
April 22, 2013 – Singer/songwriter Lee DeWyze, will return to the American Idol stage on Thursday, April 25th to perform his new song “Silver Lining” - the first single from his upcoming summer release on Vanguard Records. Thursday’s appearance will mark DeWyze’s first performance on American Idol since he was crowned winner of Season Nine in 2010. American Idol airs on Fox TV Wednesday and Thursdays at 8:00pm Eastern/7:00pm Central.
DeWyze’s premiere of “Silver Lining” will offer the millions of Idol fans and viewers a preview of what’s to come on his new album spotlighting his gift as a distinctive songwriter as well as an accomplished musician. DeWyze is currently in the studio wrapping up his Vanguard debut.
Lee DeWyze will formally launch the pivotal next stage of what is already a high-profile musical career with the release of his label debut. “This past year, I hunkered down and wrote an album,” the Chicago native explains. “I wanted to take it back to what I’m really about, which is writing emotionally charged, meaningful songs. It wasn’t like I wanted to find a label and then decide what kind of album to make. I knew what kind of album I wanted to make and knew I could make. It’s going back to the kind of music I’ve always loved. The way I see it, everything that’s happened throughout my career has happened so that I can make this record.
Lee will be hitting the road this summer in support of his new album. Tour dates listed below with more cities to be added.

Sing Along With: Marti Frederiksen
Songwriter,
producer, engineer and drummer Marti Frederiksen was a 10th
grade choir boy, yep that didn't take. Marti has had his a hand in
some of the best hits of the last decade, co-writing “Jaded” by
Aerosmith, “Undo It” by Carrie Underwood,“Sorry” by
Buckcherry, and “Love Remains the Same” by Gavin Rossdale.
With
his restless drive Marti could hear the big picture, pick out the
possibilities, and create new harmonies. He started, playing drums
in a garage band and writing originals when he was only 15.
Three of Marti’s LA-area bands landed record deals, and that led Marti to producing. Soon he was with Virgin Records co-writing and producing for the Southern rock-tinged Brother Cane, including two songs that reached No. 1 in the Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts....with his many hyphenates look behind the control board, it's an engineer, it's a drummer, a songwriter...no, it's Super Marti!
MS:
You are the ultimate one degree of “American Idol” you have
worked with everyone from Steven Tyler, Carrie Underwood, James
Durbin & Daughtry – amongst others.
MF:
I know man. Every year I think “who is it going to be this time”?
(laughs) I've worked with so many of them. There were a couple of
songs I wrote for Lee Dewyze that didn't make his current album.
MS:
That's too bad.
MF:
Well I'm actually kind of glad now, the album isn't doing much, and
the songs ares still great maybe they will be recorded by somebody
else,
MS:
Hopefully someone with a higher profile.(laughs)
MF:
Who knows, I hope they get accepted, or maybe...I don't know.
MS:
It's interesting you have only worked with one of the two successful
“American Idol” winners, Carrie Underwood. You have also worked
with two successful “AI” alums who didn't win James Durbin and
Chris Daughtry. Unless you are Carrie or Kelly Clarkson it seems you
are better off not winning if you want to become a music biz success.
MF:
That pretty much where it stands right now, but who knows, let's wait
and see what happens with Phillip Phillips.
MS:
You are a musician in your own right, you've played drums, guitar,
keyboard and what else?
MF:
Since I do all my own demos I take on every instrument, I even do
vocals.
MS:
Do you prefer songwriting and producing or being artist?
MF:
Songwriting and producing, it's more all over the place. Being an
artist you have to kind of focus on the one sound and dream, ya know.
MS:
OK Marti, if you were an instrument which instrument would you want
to be?
MF:
Drums man. That was always my thing, if it wasn't for drums I don't
think I would be writing songs.
Sing,
