Jace Everett

PAART (Performing Arts Alliance of Rural Tennessee) presents the third event in its Summer of Blues series on the First Friday in July with the country blues of Jace Everett.

You may recognize Jace Everett’s name from 2005 when he released a self-titled country album, but now he’s better known for the theme song to HBO’s most watched series, True Blood.

Just “Google” Jace Everett’s name and you’ll find yourself knee-deep in the ooh’s and ahh’s of daily papers from Boston to Chicago and Seattle that can’t discuss the HBO’s rocketing Golden Globe-honored drama TRUE BLOOD without mentioning the brilliant opening title montage, devised around the swampy rockabilly come-on of Everett’s “Bad Things.”

As a result, over 10,000 viewers seek Everett’s MySpace page daily, gluing him for months to the top spot among Americana artists on the site. And it’s formed an international following that’s eclectic, committed and not to be categorized – much like his music. For this broad fan base, RED REVELATIONS Everett’s latest release, is the complete and proper-sized helping of the sly wit, mystery, sensuality, drop-dead charisma and musical substance they’ve enjoyed so much in their weekly cable-cast sample of him.

You can read more and listen to samples of Everett’s music on his website www.jaceeverett.com.
