WISELY Tours U.S. In Support Of Latest Release, 'Parador'

HOLLYWOOD, CA (Willie Wisely Official Website) - Singer-songwriter Willie Wisely is currently touring the U.S. in support of his latest release Parador (Ella Records / Not Lame Recordings). Wisely recently made three appearances at SxSW 2006, including a live performance on Austin's KXAN-NBC 4. After a West Coast stint, he'll hit the Midwest and East Coast in May and will be featured on WXPN's nationally syndicated radio show World Café with David Dye.

Released under the moniker Wisely, Parador sparkles with irresistible melodies and lyrical artistry, spurred by producer and fellow pop wizard Linus of Hollywood and with help from the exceptional talents of Ben Eshbach (Sugarplastic), Probyn Gregory (Brian Wilson), Anna Waronker (that dog.), Heather Reid (Gush) and Paul Gilbert (Racer-X, Mr. Big).

Originally hailing from Minneapolis and now based in L.A., Wisely has been evolving a singular musical style across the considerable span of his broad career, initiating a musical movement called EVOCativePOP, a phrase Joan Anderman of the Boston Globe first used to describe Wisely's emotionally powerful and deeply memorable music.

Although Parador marks Wisely's first solo effort in eight years, he's done an astounding amount of diverse work in that time as a highly sought-after music producer, a film score composer for projects such as Warner's Scooby-Doo animated features and Jenna Fischer's (of The Office) Lollilove, and as an actor for films and television, including a role in the award-winning HBO series Six Feet Under.

Parador's lead-off track, 'This Is Everything' is featured in the most pivotal scene which emphasizes the climactic moment in the new Andy Dick comedy Danny Roane: First Time Director, which debuted at the '06 SXSW Film Festival. Wisely songs can also be heard in Fox's new hit series The Loop. Wisely's 2005 tour of Japan, with San Francisco's John Vanderslice and multi-platinum selling Japanese artists Quruli, was a sold-out smash.
