New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Singer/Songwriter Bill Curreri has won The Independent
Music Network Award in the mainstream music category for "Favorite Male Artist for 2014" for his new album "Son Of An American Dream". The very popular network is in the forefront for independent artists honoring the very best music artists and bands in the independent arena.
Curreri has become a darling of the press: Goldmine Magazine, among the many rave reviews of Curreri's album proclaimed ""'Son Of An American Dream' is a rockin' little record I want my DJ to play... If
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers made this exact album, it would be hailed coast to coast. If The
Eagles made this exact album, it would also be hailed... What makes it all cool is that his observations are totally universal, his experiences mirroring his generation. I totally get this guy. He's me. He's you... Intelligent personal lyrics sung with creamy-sweet harmony... yet accentuated with a kick-ass band is always going to win me over." MW3.COM wrote "Mix in a little Steely Dan, some Gerry Rafferty with a touch of Dylan and The Byrds and you come away with an album that pops and rocks in all the right places... There's so many cool cuts here for pop and rock fans to pick and choose from...
State of the art 21st century jangle pop gets a solid transfusion with Bill Curreri's Son Of An American Dream."
Son Of An American
Dream influences are from boomer-generation icons like the Beatles, Rolling Stones,
Bob Dylan and the Byrds, as well as a cross-section of singer-songwriters ranging from
Jackson Browne and
Tom Petty to
Bob Seger and Cat Stevens—is best described as a hybrid of classic rock and contemporary Americana, with elements of pop, R&B and country entering the mix. Son Of An American
Dream features 10 songs composed by Curreri, most new with a couple from his earlier catalogue. Nearly all of them draw from Curreri's own life experiences, and many bear dual meanings. The title track, which opens the recording, is one of the album's most rocking and most poignant. It's very close to its author's heart.
Dream."
Says Bill, "It really is a great honor to receive this award from the Independent
Music Network and their membership. It is always great to receive artistic recognition from your peers. But with this award focusing exclusively on independent artists and their music, I appreciate the honor even more."
