In the early days of social networking, there were no classes, no courses, no gurus to assist musicians in building a fan base. Yet in the mid-2000s, a young singer/songwriter named John Vesely –– armed with a self-produced, acoustic album and the knowledge of how to communicate with fans –– became the #1 unsigned artist on MySpace. From here, Vesely took the moniker Secondhand Serenade and began a journey that resulted in a breakout album (Awake), multi-platinum success and worldwide touring. That journey is still going strong today. 

Now celebrating the 20th anniversary of Awake, Secondhand Serenade returns to the stage with a special world tour featuring reimagined fan favorites enhanced by live string arrangements. The result? The emotional, intimate performances fans know and love, elevated to a whole new level.

Vesely’s confessional songwriting style creates moments of genuine vulnerability, transforming concerts into communal experiences. Whether you’ve been a fan since the MySpace days or discovered these songs through late-night playlists, this performance promises to deliver the acoustic intimacy Secondhand Serenade is known for, elevated to cinematic heights.

This is your chance to experience the songs that defined the emo-pop era in their most stunning form yet. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness a beloved artist honoring his legacy while pushing his artistry forward.
