Secondhand Serenade
Much like Five for Fighting or Dashboard Confessional,
Secondhand Serenade is the project name for a solo artist, singer/songwriter
John Vesely. Raised in the San Francisco Bay Area in a musical family that
included his professional jazz musician father, Vesely spent a number of years
playing bass in local bands before picking up the acoustic guitar and
refocusing his attention on composing original material. Rather than releasing
the new material under his name, Vesely chose to group them under a different
moniker, Secondhand Serenade, which paid reference to the notion that all his
autobiographical songs were directed first and foremost to his wife (and thus
made the rest of his audience bystanders to their pas de deux).
Vesely recorded his debut album, Awake, in 2005, originally
self-releasing the disc and selling it online through his MySpace page and
iTunes. Internet buzz led to a deal with Glassnote Records, who released an
expanded version of Awake in February 2007.
