With his eleventh release, Southern Paradise, Boston based singer / songwriter John Taglieri has hit the Billboard charts. Fueled by his residency at Irish Kevins in Key West, FL, where he performs every other month, the combination of Taglieri’s electrifying stage show and the benefit of a new crowd every day, as well as his constant touring schedule around the Eastern US, has pushed John’s sales to #134 on Billboard’s New Artist Chart. With a solid combination of live and online sales, the CD has established itself as one to be noticed.
“I’m so truly excited to have finally hit the Billboard charts!” said Taglieri. “We’ve worked really hard for a long time to make a career to be proud of and it’s nice to see that things are still moving in such a positive direction. I have an amazing fan base and they just keep me going.”
Combined with winning Rockwired Radio’s’s ‘Best Recording Of The Year 2013 (Ep)’ (announced 1/27), as well as currently sitting at #1 on ReverbNation for the Boston Area, and charting on Hit-Tracks Top 100 Charts in The Netherlands at #61, 2014 has started off with a bang for Taglieri. Southern Paradise also charted at #5 on Amazon.com’s Hot New Releases with the single for ‘Southern Paradise’ also hitting #13 on Amazon.com. The video for the single also has nearly 5000 views on YouTube.
Southern Paradise was released in the Spring of 2013 via Leap Dog Music / Vanity Music Group and has broken new ground for Taglieri in the pop and country genres. “I worked with producers Sean Mormelo and Mark Cohn out of Nashville for this release and we naturally gravitated to a more pop/country vibe. It was a very comfortable place song wise and style wise for me. I’ve always sort of been on that line of rock & pop country and we just wrote some great songs in that vein”…said Taglieri.
