Proving the millennium adage “EMO IS NOT DEAD” to be true, fervent Filipino fans of the genre will surely be stoked that SECONDHAND SERENADE is adding another show for the Asia Tour 2024 at the New Frontier Theater on August 29th.

Due to the overwhelming response and immediate action of local Filipino fans, tickets to the original August 30th show quickly sold out. Both PULP Live World and Skesh Entertainment heeded the call of loyal fans from all over the country for another chance to witness and enjoy an evening of nostalgic hit tunes and all the right emo feels with like-minded fans.

In 2005, singer/songwriter/guitarist John Vesely – armed with an acoustic guitar and a recording of multi-tracked vocals – released a demo via his MySpace page under the moniker Secondhand Serenade. Deftly combining his strong online presence with a tight gigging ethic in his local area of San Francisco, Vesely received tremendous support –selling 15,000 copies of his album on his own, and garnering millions of plays on MySpace – making him the number one independent artist for months on the social media platform.

But it was 2008’s groundbreaking single “Fall For You,” (from his second release A Twist In My Story…) that literally made Secondhand Serenade a household name all over the world. The song – a timeless anthem of unrequited love. Filipino fans were especially drawn to the anthem and proved to be among his most rabid and loyal followers in the world.

Last February 2024, Secondhand Serenade created an exciting stir on his social media pages via a throwback post of his music video for the single “Your Call,” while hinting at his return to Manila after more than a decade.

And now it’s finally happening – TWICE. So there is no excuse not to relive and experience the magic of Secondhand Serenade’s music.
