BUY THE NEW SAVING ABEL CD AND GET A FREE TICKET TO THE JULY 13 SHOW!

Saving Abel will be performing at the Knitting Factory Tuesday, July 13. With a purchase of their newest full-length album Miss America, The Record Exchange will give away one free ticket to the show! Doors open at 6:30 PM with the show starting at 7:00 PM. Come in and take advantage of this awesome deal!

Saving Abel frontman Jared Weeks says fans will hear “a much more mature band” on their sophomore album, ‘Miss America.’

“We’ve been out on the road for three years,” Weeks tells Billboard.com, “but what we did was any time we had a day off somewhere, we’d fly down to Nashville and write a song or two, then fly right out and do a show. So we’re out on the road and experiencing things, so it was easy to have stuff to write about. I’m super-confident this album is gonna back up our first album,” 2008’s gold-certified “Saving Abel.”

The singer describes the 11-track album, produced again by Skidd Mills, as “versatile” but true to the character of its predecessor. “One of the strongest things that we’re proud of here is our Southern heritage, man, and you can tell that in this album,” Weeks says. “We do throw a little bit more rock ‘n’ roll in there, but we’ve got a little more in-depth than the Southern twang that made Saving Abel who it was when ‘Addicted’ (the ubiquitous radio hit from ‘Saving Abel’) came out.” — UltimateGuitar.com
