PERFORMANCE ON TODAY SHOW AND HOLIDAY SHOWS ANNOUNCED

Los Angeles, CA (October 30, 2013) – 2101 Records/Capitol Records recording artists Midnight Red are a fresh new force on today’s pop landscape. Joey, Thomas, Anthony, Eric and Colton were proud to perform for America in New York last week when Z100 DJ Elvis Duran selected them as his October Artist of the Month on The Today Show. The show drew Redheads from across America armed with red wigs, and homemade signs, hoping to catch a glimpse of the boy band. Their fans, dubbed the redheads, got much more than they bargained for, when after the taping the band performed a free show and had a pizza party for fans, some who had camped out since the night before.
Set for the MTV Artist to Watch tour with Austin Mahone, which has been postponed, the boys of Midnight Red are always ready to connect with fans. “When we found out about the tour being postponed, we all just looked at each other and were like, well, let’s see what the fans are saying,” said Thomas Augusto. “Then we went to twitter and found so many fans inviting us to their homes. So we all thought ‘why not?’. And that is exactly what they did in the Atlanta area,” adds Colton Rudloff. Midnight Red pulled their tour bus into the subdivision, rounded a few corners and ended up at the doorstep of Fayetteville, Georgia resident Samantha Weir. With a little surprise help from Samantha’s mother, Midnight Red was soon performing for a group of friends before sitting around the campfire to make smores. “This is exactly what we love doing,” says Eric Secharia. “We put so many smiles on those fans faces. It felt so great to surprise Samantha and her friends.” CNN and Showbiz Tonight picked up the surprise segment; you can catch the whole thing here. Continuing the promotional support of Midnight Red’s current single ‘Take Me Home’, the five boys have earned accolades with outlets including Billboard, Access Hollywood, Glamoholic and FUSE TV. Their killer dance moves and all American charm earned them E! News’ ‘Hotties of the Week’ spot. Additionally, the band lent their talent to the in-famous NOH8 campaign to promote marriage, gender and human equality, regardless of the cultural group one many associate with. Additionally, the band will make stops at this year’s Holiday radio shows. Complete list is below and visit www.midnightred.com for updates. HOLIDAY RADIO SHOWS BELOW: Near-lifelong singers and dancers hailing from wildly different backgrounds,Midnight Red saw its inception when Anthony and Eric met through their mutual vocal coach. A star dancer for Monsters of HipHop, Anthony had tried out as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson at age 12, then made it to the final round of auditions only to find he was too young to go on tour. After Anthony connected with Eric (through a vocal coach), the two reached out to Thomas, who soon relocated to L.A. from his rural Texas hometown to join the group. A self-described music obsessive “raised by MTV,” Thomas devoted his high school years to scouting out any opportunity to sing onstage, and had crossed paths with Eric through a singing competition when he was 15. Next, the group tracked down Colton after stumbling across a YouTube video of the aspiring singer/school-chorus star covering Jesse McCartney’s “Leavin.’” To round out the lineup, Midnight Red’s then-manager tapped Joey, another aspiring singer who was attending California State University, Northridge (and whose singer/songwriter father, Joey Diggs Sr., had recorded vocals with the likes of Smokey Robinson, Whitney Houston, and Rod Stewart). # # # Buy “Take Me Home” Here:
