Secondhand Serenade Adds a Second Show in Manila for 2024 Asia Tour
Proving the millenium adage “EMO IS NOT DEAD,” ardent Filipino lovers of the genre will undoubtedly be thrilled that SECONDHAND SERENADE has added another event to the Asia Tour 2024 at the New Frontier Theater on August 29th.
As a result of the overwhelming response of the Filipino fans, the original August 30th show rapidly sold out. Both PULP Live World and Skesh Entertainment responded to the demand of dedicated fans from throughout the country for another chance to watch and enjoy an evening of nostalgic hit songs and all the proper emo vibes with like-minded admirers.
In 2005, John Vesely, a singer/songwriter/guitarist, published a demo on his MySpace page under the name Secondhand Serenade. The demo featured multi-tracked vocals and an acoustic guitar. Vesely achieved tremendous success by skillfully integrating his robust online presence with a consistent gigging schedule in his hometown of San Francisco. He sold 15,000 copies of his album independently and amassed millions of plays on MySpace, establishing him as the top independent artist on the social media platform for several months.
However, it was the groundbreaking single “Fall For You” from his second release, A Twist In My Story, in 2008 that truly established Secondhand Serenade as a global phenomenon. The melody is a timeless anthem of unrequited love. The anthem was particularly appealing to Filipino admirers, who were among his most devoted and staunch supporters worldwide.
In February 2024, Secondhand Serenade produced a thrilling buzz on his social media platforms by posting a throwback of his music video for the single “Your Call.” This post also hinted at his anticipated return to Manila after a break of over a decade.
And now, it is ultimately occurring on two separate occasions. Therefore, there is no justification for failing to recollect and experience the enchantment of Secondhand Senerade’s music.
