Tyler Hilton is going indie for the April 3rd release of his third studio album, Forget The Storm, which will be released on his own label, Hooptie Tune Records. The album was recorded in Los Angeles with producers such as David Hodges (Christina Perry, Kelly Clarkson).
The first single, "Prince of Nothing Charming," is available now on iTunes. Hilton rejoined the cast of CW's One Tree Hill in its 9th and final season; the Forget The Storm track "Loaded Gun" appeared in the season premiere; the series finale will air on April 4th. Hilton also announced that he will kick-off a twenty-city U.S. tour this week in Michigan.
"The songs and sounds of Forget The Storm came together as a reaction to the major label system and the heartbreak it kept putting me through," said Hilton. "I left it all behind, started my own label and without all the rules and red tape I found it easier to write honest Americana Rock'n'Roll that is closer to who I am."
