FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
John Hampson Begins Borders Books & Music Tour Friday September 25th at Syosset Long Island Location

Syosset, NY (September 21, 2009) On Friday September 25th at 7pm, John Hampson of Nine Days (#1 hit "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)") begins his Fall tour of Borders Books & Music Stores in the tri state area by playing on Long Island at the store located at 425 Jericho Tpke, Syosset NY 11773 (516) 496-3934. Free admission for everyone and all ages are admitted to this special event.

John will be appearing live and signing autographs to promote his new CD "Shiny New Album" available exclusively on disc at Borders Books & Music and online at JohnHampson.com

From the CD release announcement: "As the first track of the album suggests, the hit songwriter from Long Island NY, has spent the last few months "On The Road" performing a selection of tunes from his brand new solo album, "Shiny New Album" (Dirty Poet). The shows consist of songs from his new release such as; "When We Were 22", "Good Time For A Mistake", "Stella", plus a true highlight, "How Much"; his current single. While not denying the audience "Absolutely (Story of a Girl)" - the song that made him famous - and "If I Am", the second of his two top 40 hits as the lead singer of Nine Days (from their debut release "The Madding Crowd" (Epic/Sony) which has sold nearly a million copies worldwide), the focus of the shows is on the new music. The new songs reflect a maturity in lyrical themes and musical dynamics, but the clever wordplay and big melodies have not been left behind (John did, after all, just write the first single, "The In Crowd", off of Disney Records artist Mitchell Musso’s new album)".
