   SRI Records Celebrates Harry Nilsson's 7   
   26 Jun 16 11:48:19   
   
   In celebration of Harry Nilsson's 75th birthday, SRI Records is pleased to   
   release "Dream On Nilsson, a tribute to the great Harry Nilsson, who would   
   have turned 75 on June 15th this year. Dream on Nilsson, (Kai Anders Stenlund   
   - Vocals, Guitar, Bass;    
   Joshua Parlanti - Piano, Guitar, Bass, Vocals; Kyle O'Brien - Percussion; Ian   
   Stenlund - Guitar; Joe Downing - Electric Bass, Upright Bass), a talented   
   group of musicians who recorded the album, are dedicated to the talents of   
   Harry Nilsson and recorded    
   this album in an effort to bring his great music to a new audience.   
      
   The interest in Dream On Nilsson's release was near and dear to CEO Shelly   
   Liebowitz's heart. A long time close friend who spent lots or time with Harry   
   and John Lennon, Liebowitz first met Dream on Nilsson when they joined the   
   effort trying to convince    
   the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame that Harry Nilsson should be inducted. According   
   to Liebowitz, "I was very impressed with their love and respect for Harry's   
   work and desire to bring it to a new young audience. The recordings show true   
   respect to Harry's    
   original renditions yet sound much more current. Harry's music is known to   
   everyone even if you don't realize it. From 'Everybody's Talkin' At Me' from   
   Midnight Cowboy, to writing hits for The Monkees, Three Dog Night and many   
   other artists, to his    
   animated children's story 'The Point' or the silliness of 'Lime In The   
   Coconut', Harry is still very much with us. He was a very unique artist and   
   person. He never toured or even performed live. His songs touched us in a way   
   that most never do whether it'   
   s 'My Best Friend' from the television show The Courtship of Eddie's Father,   
   'Me And My Arrow', 'One Is The Loneliest Number', 'Gotta Get Up' or even the   
   outrageous 'You're Breaking My Heart' - everyone has a Nilsson favorite. Harry   
   was the first artist    
   to decide to record an album of standards and I remember when I asked him why   
   he just said, 'my voice is as good as it will ever be so now is the time.'"   
      
   "The group of us trying to get "Harry In The Hall" is quickly growing and   
   includes many songwriters, rock stars, fans and friends. It is my hope that   
   the release of Dream On Nilsson will help spread the word and showcase a few   
   lesser known Nilsson    
   originals," says Liebowitz   
      
   You can preview a selection of songs from the album on the SRI website and the   
   album will be available for purchase on the website, on Spotify, iTunes, Apple   
   Music, Amazon and all major digital outlets.
