On June 23rd, 2010, my partner-in-crime, Dion Roy, released his latest EP, “The Nearest Light.”  Impressively, and within 24 hours of release, he cut through the top 10, currently sitting at #9 on iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts.

An instant success, the new album was also just licensed for the upcoming seasons of MTV’s “The Real World” and “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” on E!.  The EP, which was produced by Dion Roy and Peter Roessler, was mixed by Scott Reibling of Weezer, Cobra Starship and Fallout Boy fame.

In celebration of the release, Dion performed last night to a sold out show at The Living Room in New York’s infamous Lower East Side.  It was a full band performance featuring Peter Roessler (guitar), Ed Marshall (bass), and special guest, Boots Factor, of Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers (drums).

Already an exciting 2010 for Dion, the release of the EP follows his recent appearances on The Howard Stern Show, his SXSW Showcase in Austin, his NYC Harbour Cruise with Ryan Cabrera, and his opening slot with Eve 6 in Flint, Michigan.

Details for a full summer U.S. tour in July and August are expected to be announced any day now.

“The Nearest Light” is available for purchase on iTunes (here) for $3.96.
