Party People-

It's Wertz. Ever been referred to as a 'party person' before? No? Well, congratulations! I hope y'all are enjoying the summer. It's crazy that my instincts every summer are to go to the pool, eat ice cream, and play tennis. Someone should remind me that i'm not 13 anymore.

So i wanted to write and announce a really cool opportunity I've been given to go play some shows with the band O.A.R. this September! The first show is on September 15th in Nashville, at the Ryman Auditorium! Ever since i've been in Nashville, I've wanted to play the Ryman, so as you could imagine, I'm stoked. We're playing a total of 8 shows together, and I'll be back out with the band, which i'm way ready for as well!

Another thing that is rad is that it is going to fit in perfect with the release date for my new album, 'Under Summer Sun' which will now be released on Tuesday, September 16th! Why are new releases always on Tuesday? Note to self...ask the record label why new releases are always on Tuesday...

We thought September 16th would be a better time to put the album out, so I hope you don't mind waiting a few more weeks. It will be worth the wait. I promise. September 16th it is. Tuesday. The second one in September, actually.

Ok, that's all i got. I'm gonna go for a run around the block. Literally.
