   About My Name is August - on iTunes!

My name is August and I’ve been writing music for about as long as I can remember. I guess it all started way back in the confines of my family's music school. Born and raised within the wood-laden walls of the "New Jersey School of Music", I could be found tearing through the halls banging on every piano and miscellaneous instrument I could get my hands on. I guess not much has changed. As it goes, I don’t think anyone really chooses music as a career path. I think it more or less chooses you.

I’ll do you a favor and fast-forward through puberty and the adolescent teen years, spare you the horny details and get to the point. About five years ago, while performing in the local scene, I stumbled across Eric Schwank, another songwriter who shared the same insatiable urge for writing music. The connection was immediate along with a shared vision and great friendship that soon followed. After five years, a couple different bands, and thousands of cups of coffee, here we stand and I believe we finally got it right.

We began recording in mid-December 2007, a modest Christmas CD for family and friends, which would soon become the groundwork for our first official release. With the help of our 1st release '8' and our latest EP 'A Higher Place', regional and international radio airplay, media broadcasts and constant touring up and down the east coast we have been fortunate enough to build a substantial indie following and create a buzz with labels, publishers, and mass media a like.

But what does it sound like!? Well, if you knew me, you’d already know my strong affinity towards the classic and intelligent pop music of Billy Joel and the Beatles. I freely admit that I’m a bit jealous of John Mayer and Dave Matthews for screwing with the “formula” and getting it perfect every time. You may also know that I was inspired to begin writing simply after listening to my first Counting Crows album. (In fact, I’m listening to the Crows latest album at this very moment) If you knew Eric then you’d already know his infatuation with the lyrics of Nick Cave; You’d know his appreciation for the beautifully raw songwriting of Ryan Adams; And possibly that he picked up the guitar for the first time after hearing the Edge play for U2. If you haven't seen or heard us yet you should also know that many people compare us to the likes of The Fray, Matt Nathanson, and Ben Folds. In the end, I can’t say that we sound exactly like any one of these great artists specifically, but at least you’ll understand where we started.

Without further ado, I'd like to present, "My Name is August", an energetic, soulful and infectious brand of singer/songwriter pop-rock. Prolific songwriters and recording artists determined on creating music and performances that are simply unforgettable.

Cheers,

Michael August

ROCK HERO! ROCK HERO! ROCK HERO!!!!!! What is all the hype about?!!?!  Uranium Film Productions proudly presents Rock Hero, a mockumentary style webisode series that follows four adult gamers who become obsessed with the game of Rock Band, revolutionizing the gaming industry while simultaneously losing touch with reality. The series cleverly aims to dominate the interaction and cross breeding of gaming, internet, celebrity, pop culture, music and reality tv by way of its dialogue, cinematography and style of presentation. E True Hollywood Story meets The Office, with the drama of The Hills, and the comedy of Family Guy.  If you love to Rock and love to Roll check out the trailer on our website! www.uraniumfilmproductions.com
