FUN.

FUN.’s album SOME NIGHTS, recently reached RIAA platinum certification status for sales in excess of one million. FUN. recently won two Grammys from the 55th Annual Grammy Awards. The NYC-based band was among this year’s most-nominated artists, and took home two of the top four awards, “Song of the Year” for “We Are Young (Feat. Janelle Monáe)” and “Best New Artist.” FUN. capped their extraordinary year with the worldwide release of their own “iTUNES SESSION” EP. Recorded at the storied Capitol Records Studio in Los Angeles, the EP (available exclusively on the iTunes Store) pairs unique versions of SOME NIGHTS favorites like the latest single, “Carry On,” alongside a genuinely special cover of Van Morrison’s classic “Queen of the Slipstream.”

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers belong to a special class of artists - a class comprised of those few acts that have sustained decades-long careers despite the restlessness of popular music’s audience. They have scored hits in five different decades such as “American Girl,” “Refugee,” “The Waiting,” “I Won’t Back Down,” “Free Fallin’,” “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” and “You Don’t Know How It Feels.” And they have sold tens of millions of records along the way. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during their first year of eligibility and have garnered accolades and awards too many to mention. Through it all, their uncompromising integrity has never wavered while their concert tours have become things of legend.
