(PR) May 13th has been set as the official release date for New York native JASON YUDOFF?s sophomore album ??Tragic Hero?? (Scratched Vinyl). ??Hero?? features rollicking piano jams, smooth grooves and emotional songs of longing, incompleteness and self-discovery. From behind his keyboard, YUDOFF has crafted a confessional album that makes the listener contemplate relationships while simultaneously getting up and dancing.For ??Tragic Hero?? YUDOFF worked with producer Ron Thaler and Scott Hull (Steely Dan, John Mayer, Bruce Springsteen) who did the mastering to combine aspects of 2004?s ??Smoke, Sex, Water ??(which made it to the preliminary Grammy ballot in 2005) and 2006?s ??LIVE at the Cutting Room?? into an album that captures the electricity of his live show and introspective songwriting.
Discussing why he chose to name his album ??Tragic Hero?? YUDOFF says: ?The flawed hero is the central character in a lot of classic literature, and like a lot of authors, I write from a personal place. I am usually the protagonist in my songs, just as we are all the main characters in our own life stories.? [what's with all the ????s ?

Here is our public service announcement for today: Fancy email formatting looks really pretty on your screen, but it may not look so hot on anyone else's, while plain text can be read by ANYONE!]
