+LIVE+ return to York, PA for a sold-out private performance

March 6, 2012 (York, PA) – Think Loud Development, in association with Kinsley Construction & Mayor Kim Bracey present a private, invitation only event at the Strand Capital Theater on Monday, March 12. The evening will feature multi-platinum recording artists, +LIVE+ and Candlebox with fellow Pennsylvania natives Dana Alexander and Adam Taylor & The Rain Dogs in support.

“We’ve been busy writing new songs and rehearsing old material for a series of unannounced shows and a new album. York seemed like the perfect place to have our dress rehearsal”, muses bassist Patrick Dahlheimer.

“The guest list includes our local friends and family, and those who supported us throughout the ups and downs of our career. I’m excited to perform these songs in front of our hometown fans,” adds drummer Chad Gracey.

Formed in 1985 by drummer Chad Gracey, guitarist Chad Taylor and bassist Patrick Dahlheimer, +LIVE+ became one of the most influential and commercially successful rock bands of the 90’s, having sold 20 million albums worldwide while playing to millions of fans the world over. They have scored multi-platinum albums, including 1991's Mental Jewelry, 1994’s Throwing Copper, 1997’s Secret Samadhi and 1999’s Distance To Here. In 1996, +LIVE+ were featured on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and heralded as “Artist of the Year”.

In 2008, +LIVE+ declared a hiatus sighting differences with vocalist Ed Kowalczyk. Gracey, Dahlheimer and Taylor formed The Gracious Few recording with Candlebox members, guitarist Sean Hennesy and vocalist Kevin Martin. The group toured throughout North America and Europe landing a top-ten single with their hit “Appetite” at rock radio.

On Monday night, a new vocalist will take over the reigns once held by Kowlaczyk.

“Life has a way of evolving into new and exciting chapters. This chapter begins with a new singer. What’s most important to us is that we return the band to top form while having fun playing music for our fans. +LIVE+ is a reflection of our human experience, and true to form there certainly have been some painful moments, yet nothing can overshadow the joy of bringing our fans together,” says Taylor.

The band members are quick to point out that they wish Kowalczyk well in his pursuit of a Contemporary Christian solo career and have not ruled out a reunion at some point in the future.
