Five Times August - Brighter Side

Five Times August is the stage name for independent singer/songwriter Brad Skistimas from Austin, Texas. He's reputable for being unsigned to any record labels, despite his numerous releases since 2001. The acoustic-pop gentleman has sold over 100,000 digital downloads without a single help from a record label. His songs are featured on several popular television shows including Laguna Beach and One Tree Hill, and have also appeared on video games.

Brighter Side is his latest album released on March 18.

“Since Five Times August is a solo project I have the freedom to bring in a variety of players to fit each album. It’s great because those different inputs provide a level of comfort in knowing my sound will never get repetitive from one record to the next. It’s like forming a new band each time around,” Skistimas commented. Read on over here.
