New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Fresh from the global success of their debut No.1 album, Stars, last year's Britain's Got Talent champions Collabro return with their follow-up album Act Two. Available in the U.S. on July 10 via Portrait Records, Act Two debuted this week at No. 2 on the U.K album chart. The band also made their return to BGT for a homecoming performance - check it out here.
Collabro will make their U.S. debut at venues in New York and Los Angeles this summer to mark the release of their sophomore album. On July 15, the group will perform at the Highline Ballroom in New York City. Then on July 21, they will perform at the acclaimed Vibrato Jazz Club in Los Angeles.
Act Two follows the band as they expand their musical horizons, recording some of the greatest songs of the last 30 years, which have influenced them as a band. The album includes some surprising re-interpretations of recent pop music's finest moments including Kodaline's smash "All I Want," Christina Perri's hit ballad "A Thousand Years" and "I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz. There's also a moving rendition of The Rembrandts' world-famous "I'll Be There For You," which the boys debuted on their tour at the start of this year, and has quickly garnered a following by Collabro fans around the globe.
Following a huge sell-out tour of the U.K.'s theatres and auditoriums at the start of the year, the remainder of 2015 will push Collabro to expand their exposure to global audiences. Demand and popularity has led to appearances all across Europe and Asia, where their fanbase is continuing to grow at a rapid pace.
Michael Auger, Richard Hadfield, Jamie Lambert, Matt Pagan and Thomas Redgrave only became Collabro at the start of 2014 and it's been a steady stream of incredible moments since then. Following their runaway Britain's Got Talent victory last summer, Collabro have already released a No.1 Gold certified album and special edition follow up, performed at the Royal Variety Show for PrinceWilliam and the Duchess of Cambridge, and written and released 'Our Story,' their first band memoir.
