Pop Singer-Songwriter Jonathan Cavier to release Second Single, “Pearl,” from Debut Album Premier on June 17

Music video for “Pearl” to be released on June 13

Los Angeles, CA, June 07, 2016 – Pop singer-songwriter Jonathan Cavier is gearing up for the release of his second solo single “Pearl” on June 17th, 2016. This single will be released along with Cavier’s debut solo album, Premier, which will also be out on June 17th, 2016. On Premier, Cavier blends influences from Duran Duran to David Bowie and Goo Goo Dolls into a sound all on his own.


“Pearl” follows Cavier’s well-received debut single “January.” With his signature mix of atmospheric keyboards and bright acoustic guitars, “Pearl” brings to mind easygoing and carefree summer days spent with someone you love. Filmed in Malibu this spring, the music video for “Pearl” features Cavier and will be released on June 13 in advance of the release date for Premier. Brad Wong, the “Pearl” video’s director and editor is an award-winning music video and short film director who has screened short films at the 66th and 67th Cannes International Film Festivals. Brad also won The Elfenworks Social Justice Category at CMF Hollywood in 2013. Cooper James, director of photography for “Pearl”, is an EMMY award-winning cinematographer and producer.

The twelve songs on Premier merge Cavier’s varied pop and rock influences from the 80s, 90s and today, resulting in a fresh take on pop music. Extracting elements from a wide range of sounds and unique instruments, Cavier hopes to “transport listeners to colorful three-minute worlds,” through his careful composition and thoughtful lyrics.

Project Grand Slam Releases New Song to Benefit Victims of Child Abuse

Project Grand Slam, the contemporary electric jazz group, has today released their version of the classic Hollies hit, “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”, with Special Guest Vocals by Joye Hennessey.

New York, NY, December 07, 2011 - Project Grand Slam, the contemporary electric jazz group, has today released their version of the classic Hollies hit, “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”, with Special Guest Vocals by Joye Hennessey. The song is dedicated to the victims of child abuse, relating to the Penn State and recent Syracuse sexual abuse scandals.


Like millions of people across the United States and the world, the members of Project Grand Slam were horrified to learn of the sexual abuse allegations connected with Jerry Sandusky in the Penn State University football program and with Bernie Fine at Syracuse University. Project Grand Slam was completing its new album when they realized that “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” was particularly appropriate to the Penn State and Syracuse scandals. The song’s title was the motto for Father Flannigan’s Boys Town charity, which was created in the early 1900s to help disadvantaged and abused children. The song’s message of support for victims and the abused is consistent with Penn State’s and Syracuse’s healing efforts following the sexual abuse scandal. Therefore, Project Grand Slam decided to immediately release “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” as a single, and to donate proceeds from the song to benefit the victims of child abuse such as RAINN and Prevent Child Abuse PA.

The song is currently available for download on iTunes at http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/he-aint-heavy-hes-my-brother/id482770139. The song will also be available for online streaming from Spotify, Napster, Amazon and others.

About Project Grand Slam
Project Grand Slam’s debut album, Play, released in 2008, garnered rave critical reviews. A track from the album, “The Captain Of Her Heart”, with guest vocals by Judie Tzuke, was a Top 20 radio hit. In addition, PGS and five tracks from Play were prominently featured in an episode of the hit NBC series, “Lipstick Jungle”, starring Brooke Shields.

The core members of Project Grand Slam are Robert Miller (Electric Bass, Composer), Ron Thaler (Drums, Percussion), and Gilad Ronen (Saxophones, Composer). Each has significant and extensive musical credentials. “He Ain’t Heavy” also features guest artists Mike Eckroth (Keyboards), Danny Lerman (Saxophones), Justin Smith (Strings) and Joye Hennessey (Special Guest Vocals).

Project Grand Slam’s follow up album containing “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” and seven other original tunes, will be released in early 2012.
