Revolutionary

Last August, Jason Forbach (currently Enjolras in the 25th Anniversary Tour of Les Miserables) found a video of Wesley's on YouTube. He contacted Wesley and a year later they are about to release a track that they have co-written for Jason's newest EP! The song Revolutionary came as a joint effort of Forbach and King with Wesley writing the music and chorus and Jason adding heartfelt words about the empowerment of music. Also on the EP is Jason's raw and simple yet stunningly beautiful rendition of Bring Him Home. Jason has also decided that in an homage to music, he will donate a portion of the proceeds to Ear Candy, a music education charity that repairs musical instruments and put them back in schools for young students to use. The date of the EP release is August 1st! It will be available on iTunes and other online music sources.
