Way Back Wednesday: Jesse McCartney

You probably know him from the hit TV series Summerland, starring Aunt Becky from Full House…aka Lori Loughlin. You may even know him from his 2004 debut single, “Beautiful Soul,” which reached #3 on the Mediabase Top 40 Radio chart or his multi-platinum single, “Leavin,” which became the #1 most played song of 2008 at Top 40 Radio.  

If you haven’t figured it out yet, we’re talking about award-winning singer, songwriter and actor Jesse McCartney, who will be coming to Huntington on August 16th! Jesse’s new tour comes on the heels of his highly anticipated album In Technicolor on Eight0Eight Records set to release on July 22nd- featuring the first single “Superbad.” Jesse McCartney has proven that he isn't just another one-hit-wonder. In fact, last year while touring with the Backstreet Boys he stopped by The Today Show and premiered his EP, In Technicolor Part I, including the single “Back Together.”

In Technicolor is strongly influenced by music icons such as Michael Jackson and Prince “…that’s what I have always gravitated towards,” McCartney said. “The pivotal moment when I was writing with Hot Chelle Rae for their album; we wrote a song that - somewhat accidentally - nailed a sound I was searching for, for myself.  It was retro; it was contemporary. I envisioned real horns, real instruments. The song “Back Together,” became the template for this album.”


Tickets for Jesse McCartney at The Paramount on August 16th are available now for purchase through Ticketmaster.com, charge-by-phone @ 800-745-3000 or The Paramount Box Office (open daily from 12 noon - 6 pm).
