Bilmuri at Irving Plaza

Johnny Franck, otherwise known as Bilmuri, burst onto the scene in June 2014 when he dropped his debut single "There's Always Hope" as a solo artist. The brains behind Bilmuri didn't start out as a solo sensation but the former clean vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the Ohio-based metalcore band Attack Attack!. No stranger to working with some of the finest artists on the scene, Johnny Franck has collaborated with industry heavyweights, such as the likes of Dave Days and Jarrod Alonge - not to mention more than 70 bands!!

Over the past decade as a solo artist, Johnny Franck has carved up a sound that rises from early influences like Enter Shikari and Forever the Sickest Kids. Throughout his successful career, he’s cooked up a signature genre that blends neon pop-punk with hardcore and emo elements, whilst also chucking in some lo-fi and indie-pop tunes. And now, it’s your chance to see the genre bending artist live and up close! In support of the forthcoming album ‘American Motor Sports,’ Bilmuri is “beyond excited” to announce a huge North American trek. With support from the pop punk/post hardcore trio Driveways and Orlando-based alternative four piece 408, the American Motor Tour kicks things off on August 10 in Boston, and makes its way to New York’s Irving Plaza on August 13. Since the Irving Plaza was changed into a rock music venue in 1978, it's made history as the Big Apple’s top music venue. Named one of the "50 Best Concert Venues of America," this ballroom-style plaza knows exactly how to put an epic party on! So far, the Irving Plaza has proudly welcomed legends like Talking Heads, the Ramones, U2, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, and Red Hot Chili Peppers - just to name a few! With an awesome roster of talent like this, it’s obvious why the venue is hosting a post punk powerhouse like Bilmuri. We recommend securing your spot now - while you still can!
