Interview: Voyces' Manager John Myers



Recently, Voyces’ manager John Myers was kind enough to take the time to answer a few questions I had for him.



1.) Tell me a little bit about how you became involved with The Voyces.



I met Brian in a class on religion at Fordham University about 4 years ago. We found out that we were both musicians and we hit it off instantly. A few weeks later he gave me a copy of "Angels of Fun" and I remember being blown away by the vocal quality of the record. It quickly became a record I listened to over and over on my iPod.





2.) Can you tell me about their upcoming album?



Their upcoming record is definitely more of a concept album than their past two efforts. I feel like it best represents who The Voyces truly are now. It has been very interesting to watch Brian grow as a musician/songwriter and not to take away from his past records, but this one shows a maturity that only time can bring. It sounds great from the beginning all the way to the end. I must say though, "It Whispers" is one of my all time favorite songs from The Voyces. It has so much emotion and power. It takes you for a wild ride. That solo has so much blues in it! I love it!





3.) What are the plans for the band?



Right now we are working on setting a release date for the record, booking some TV appearances and booking some future tour dates. So you keep your eyes peeled to the tube, your ears glued to the radio because we will soon be coming to a town near you.






4.) What is it like working with The Voyces?



Working with The Voyces is like going to my "happy place" all the time. It's like slowly nursing a nice scotch or taking a long bubble bath...





5.) What are some things about yourself that you would like to share?



I'm a Gemini. I like long walks by the beach, intimate conversation and a good back rub.
