Mark Tremonti Reveals New Project + New Single
Mark Tremonti (Alter Bridge/Tremonti) has finally shared what his new project is: an entire album of Frank Sinatra covers. He will be backed by surviving members of Frank’s orchestra, and included will be all the well-known songs and a few deep cuts from Ol’ Blue Eyes’ career.
The record, entitled simply Mark Tremonti Sings Frank Sinatra, is set to be released May 27th and is available for preorder at tremontisingssinatra.com. Mark has given the album to the National Down Syndrome Society, meaning that 100% of the proceeds go to the organization to help those with developmental disabilities. If you’re interested, you can read the full story about why Frank Sinatra and why NDSS here.
Check out the first single, Mark’s rendition of “I’ve Got You Under My Skin.”
