For Immediate Release: Bomb Squad Announce New Front Person
New York, NY - October 1, 2006
American Music Award winning funk-rock act Bomb Squad have announced their new front person as Brenna Gethers. The 25 year-old Mount Vernon, NY, resident enjoyed her own national success recently as a finalist on American Idol.
"My stint on American Idol allowed me to do what I love to do - sing for millions of people," says Gethers. I'm looking forward to bringing great music to the masses with Bomb Squad."
Squad founder and guitarist Q states, "It was a no-brainer. She came in and knocked us down in the live setting. Her voice, her attitude toward the music, the vibe - it's all there. It's fresh, while naturally Bomb Squad all the way."
Gethers will join the group full time after her own tour, in which she will be supporting Ruben Studdard from October 3rd through October 10th. The Bomb Squad plans to write and rehearse during the fall and return with a tour introducing the new lineup prior to the holidays.
Hand selected by music icon Dick Clark, Bomb Squad took home the New Music Award at the 31st Annual American Music Awards and performed alongside Outkast, Britney Spears, and Metallica. To date, Bomb Squad has independently released two full length albums and a DVD.
