New York, NY (Top40 Charts) As he gears up for the July 22 release of his new album Hope on Tell The Rest Records, FLINTFACE is revitalized and road ready as he embarks on a trek of dates with The
Trews and brings a sneak peek of Hope to every tour stop. Dates kick off at the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh on June 4th.
FLINTFACE's background can be traced back to the streets of West Philadelphia, where, as the son of a minister, he was involved from a very young age in giving back to the local community. At the same time, sadly, he was a victim of abuse. As an escape, he found solace in the healing powers of music.
In 2013 he immersed himself in writing music and entered the studio with notable producer Ross Hogarth (Van Halen, Ziggy Marley, Sick Puppies) to record what would become Hope. "Ross really finalized my sound. He helped me articulate who I am in music. I was finally able to communicate what I had always wanted to" says the artist.
FLINTFACE's touring band was handpicked from an array of east coast up and comers and includes--Darrell Jones (lead guitar & backing vocals), Billy Sims (bass), Devin Ortiz (rhythm guitar) Chris DeMas (drums) and the lovely Beth Scorsone who lends her beautiful voice to the harmonies.
"This record is about having faith in where we are headed" says Joe Scorsone, aka FLINTFACE explaining the reason that his upcoming album is titled Hope.
"Hopeful....passionate....inspirational. These are all very descriptive of the music that FLINTFACE's Joe Scorsone brings to the table." - On Request
