<p>After an engaging Q&amp;A with Swirsky, he caught up with <strong>May Pang,</strong> (John Lennon’s girlfriend during his “Lost Weekend” period in L.A. after his split with <strong>Yoko Ono</strong>) who was at the screening and one of the nearly 60 interviews in the 82 minute movie.</p>
<p>The week prior, the <strong><a href="http://../lt.php?c=550&amp;m=318&amp;nl=16&amp;s=187d31c830d58d9ec350ca7934f00d32&amp;lid=10153&amp;l=-http--www.abbeyroadontheriver.com/" target="_blank">Abbey Road on the River</a></strong> festival in <strong>Louisville, Ky.</strong> highlighted Swirsky’s film of untold Fab Four stories with five  screenings. “Beatles Stories” also screened to packed houses at the<strong> Newport Beach Film Festival </strong>in April after making its World Premiere at the <strong>European Independent Film Festival</strong> in <strong>Paris</strong> on <strong>April 3</strong>.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://../lt.php?c=550&amp;m=318&amp;nl=16&amp;s=187d31c830d58d9ec350ca7934f00d32&amp;lid=10155&amp;l=-http--HollywoodRevealed.com/" target="_blank">HollywoodRevealed.com</a></strong> raves: “Beatles Stories” is ‘A must-see film for anyone who loves the  Beatles, or for anyone who wished they could have been there in the  swinging ‘60s, living the life that so few got to experience.’</p>
<p>Renowned film director <strong>Cameron Crowe says</strong>, “This film is fantastic, so from the heart and so wildly revealing. An epic and timeless masterwork.”</p>
<p>The  diverse array of subjects who lent their joyful recollections to  “Beatles Stories” is a testament to Swirsky’s passion and persistance.  Among them are cultural icons such as:<strong> Sir Ben Kingsley,  Davy Jones, Graham Nash, Smokey Robinson, Brian Wilson, Jon Voight,  former First Daughter, Luci Baines Johnson, Donovan</strong>, <strong>Henry Winkler</strong>, <strong>Ray Manzarek</strong>, <strong>Art Garfunkel</strong>, <strong>Peter Noone</strong> and <strong>Susanna Hoffs</strong> among many others.</p>
<p>A  self-proclaimed “Manic Expressive” Swirsky has enjoyed a lengthy career  as an award-winning songwriter and author of three bestselling books on  baseball.</p>
<p>On <strong>June 21, 2011,</strong> he and music partner <strong>Mike Ruekberg</strong> &#8211;better known as <strong><a href="http://luckmedia.net/campaigns/lt.php?c=0&amp;m=331&amp;nl=3&amp;s=187d31c830d58d9ec350ca7934f00d32&amp;lid=0&amp;l=-http--www.theredbutton.net/" target="_blank">The Red Button</a></strong>&#8211; are slated to release their second album,  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">As Far As Yesterday Goes</span></strong>.

That album featured the song <strong>“Cruel Girl,”</strong> which reached #1 on <strong>Billboard’s “Coolest Song of the Week” </strong>chart.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>FIVE YEARS IN THE LIFE RESULTS IN ‘BEATLES STORIES’<br />
</strong><strong><br />
AWARD WINNING, SINGER-SONGWRITER AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR,<br />
</strong><strong>SETH SWIRSKY, REVEALS UNTOLD STORIES ABOUT THE ICONIC<br />
</strong><strong>POP GROUP IN HIS FASCINATING NEW DOCUMENTARY,<br />
</strong><strong>MAKING ITS NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE WITH TWO SHOWINGS<br />
</strong><strong>AT THE NEWPORT BEACH FILM FESTIVAL</strong> <strong>APRIL 29 AND MAY 2<br />
</strong><strong><br />
***<br />
</strong><strong><br />
The 75-Minute Indie Film Featuring 55 Interviews With Rock and Pop<br />
</strong><strong>Legends (Brian Wilson, Graham Nash, Art Garfunkel, Smokey Robinson), Actors (Sir Ben Kingsley, Jon Voight), Media Personalities, Beatles Intimates<br />
</strong><strong>And Even A Former First Daughter Made Its International Debut At<br />
</strong><strong>The European Independent Film Festival In Paris April 3<br />
</strong><br />
Decades pass, musical and cultural trends come and go, new generations grow up and the world becomes ever more complicated—yet the love of The Beatles<strong> </strong>endures.</p>
<p>More than four decades after <strong>Seth Swirsky</strong> used to jump up and down on his bed to his favorite Beatles songs during the ‘60s, the critically acclaimed, award winning songwriter, recording artist, author and indie filmmaker celebrates <strong>John, Paul, George </strong>and<strong> Ringo</strong> with <strong>“<a href="http://www.beatlesstories.com/">Beatles Stories</a>,”</strong> a fascinating documentary featuring interviews Swirsky conducted over a five year period with 55 famous (and not-so famous) people who had a unique or intimate encounter with one or all of the <strong>Fab Four</strong> during their heyday and beyond.</p>
<p>After receiving a rousing reception at its <strong>World Premiere</strong> at the <strong>European Independent Film Festival</strong> in <strong>Paris</strong> on <strong>April 3</strong>, the 75-minute film makes its <strong>North</strong> <strong>American </strong>debut with an unprecedented two showings at the <strong><a href="http://newportbeach.slated.com/2011/films/beatlesstories_sethswirsky_newportbeach2011;jsessionid=243E08A065325B0E3C644537B27A83D1">Newport Beach Film Festival</a></strong>. The first screening is <strong>Friday, April 29</strong> at <strong>Triangle Square 7</strong> at 6 p.m. The second is at <strong>Triangle Square 2</strong> on <strong>Monday, May 3</strong> at 3 p.m.</p>
<p>During his five year labor of love journey to document “Beatles Stories,” Swirsky (<a href="http://www.seth.com/">www.seth.com</a>) found that that everyone from legendary pop and rock stars to early recording engineers and former girlfriends had incredible and animated tales to offer. The 55 edited interviews were chosen out of an incredible 110 he shot everywhere from <strong>Los Angeles</strong> to <strong>New York </strong>to<strong> London</strong> and <strong>Liverpool</strong>. Taking an intimate grassroots approach, Swirsky worked with only a handheld camera he personally operated and an HD camera he placed in the room for potential cutaway shots.</p>
<p>The diverse array of subjects who lent their joyful recollections to “Beatles Stories” is a testament to Swirsky’s passion. Among them are renowned rock and pop stars<strong>: Justin Hayward, Smokey Robinson, Brian Wilson, Jackie DeShannon, Donovan</strong>, <strong>Ray Manzarek</strong>, <strong>Graham Nash</strong>, <strong>Art Garfunkel</strong>, <strong>Peter Noone</strong>, <strong>Rick Nielsen</strong> from <strong>Cheap Trick</strong>, <strong>Susanna Hoffs</strong> from <strong>The Bangles</strong> and <strong>Joey Molland</strong> from <strong>Badfinger.<br />
</strong><br />
“Beatles Stories” are also shared with Swirsky by various media personalities (<strong>Bob Eubanks</strong>, <strong>Frank Gifford</strong>, <strong>Chris Carter</strong>); <strong>Indianapolis Colts</strong> owner <strong>Jim Irsay</strong> (who boasts one of the world’s largest collections of guitars, including the one <strong>George Harrison</strong> played on <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Revolver</span></strong>); <strong>New York Yankees</strong> baseball great <strong>Bernie Williams</strong>; former <strong>First Daughter Luci Baines Johnson</strong>; onetime <strong>Elvis Presley</strong> bodyguard <strong>Jerry Schilling</strong>; and actors <strong>Henry Winkler</strong>, <strong>Jon Voight</strong> and <strong>Sir Ben Kingsley</strong>, who launched his career at the <strong>West End Theatre </strong>in London in a 1966 show directed by Beatles manager <strong>Brian Epstein</strong>—with <strong>John Lennon</strong> and <strong>Ringo Starr</strong> in the audience!</p>
<p>The documentary also includes Swirsky’s encounters with numerous Beatles intimates, from <strong>May Pang</strong> (John’s girlfriend during his “Lost Weekend” in L.A. after his split with <strong>Yoko Ono</strong>) and <strong>Nancy Lee Andrews</strong> (Ringo’s girlfriend in the mid- ‘70s) to <strong>Fred Seaman</strong> (John’s personal assistant during the last year of his life); the band’s legendary producer <strong>George Martin</strong>; <strong>Klaus Voorman</strong>, a friend of the band who designed the cover for<strong> <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Revolver;</span> Denny Laine </strong>from Paul’s ‘70s band <strong>Wings</strong>; Beatles engineers <strong>Norman Smith, Ken Scott and John Kurlander;</strong> <strong>Jack Douglas</strong>, who produced John’s final recording, Double Fantasy, amongst many others.</p>
<p>Swirsky, has enjoyed a lengthy career in a multitude of media, from penning worldwide hit songs for<strong> Taylor</strong> <strong>Dayne (“Tell it to My Heart”), Al Green, Celine Dion, Tina Turner</strong> and <strong>Rufus Wainwright</strong> to writing three bestselling baseball books. As a solo recording artist, his album <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Instant Pleasure</span> </strong>won for <strong>“Pop Album of the Year”</strong> at the<strong> 2005 Los Angeles Music Award </strong>while the title track from his critically-acclaimed second album<strong>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.watercolorday.com/">Watercolor Day</a></span>, </strong>won a <strong>2010 Hollywood Music in Media Award</strong> for <strong>“Best Pop Song of the Year”</strong> for the title track. He will soon be releasing the second independent recording from his band, <strong><a href="http://www.theredbutton.net/">The Red Button</a></strong>, which scored a commercial and critical success with their British Invasion-sounding debut <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">She’s About To Cross My Mind</span></strong> in 2007. That album featured the song <strong>“Cruel Girl,”</strong> which reached #1 on <strong>Billboard’s “Coolest Song of the Week” </strong>chart.</p>
<p>But in “Beatles Stories,” Swirsky is a lifelong fan simply trying to get closer to his idols and musical muses through the recollections of those who were witnesses to history. “The essence of this project to me is intimacy, connecting to The Beatles in ways I could never have dreamed of through the rich stories of these great people who took time out of their lives to share them with me,” he says. “I just wanted to share the joy of these stories with others, who loved The Beatles as I did and do. My goal was to learn more about The Beatles, and I did.</p>
<p>Now, through <strong>‘Beatles Stories’</strong>, Swirsky has found a way to give back to the band that has meant so much to him and the world.</p>

<p>Swirsky’s highly anticipated sophomore album, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Watercolor Day</span>, has received a host of rave reviews since its release. In addition, the 18-track record has been named “<strong>The First Great Power Pop Record of 2010</strong>,” by <strong>John M. Borack</strong> in <strong>Goldmine Magazine</strong>.</p>
<p>Praise for Swirsky’s album spans all segments of the entertainment spectrum. Renowned film director<strong> Cameron Crowe</strong> said: “<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Watercolor Day </span>is a gorgeous pop puzzle, and every piece is perfection. It&#8217;s a rainy day classic, and a sunny day masterpiece.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Jack Oliver</strong>, President of <strong>The Beatles</strong> label, <strong>Apple Records</strong>, from 1969-1971, said, &#8220;On <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Watercolor Day</span>, Seth has the remarkable ability to capture the sounds and vibe of &#8217;60s and &#8217;70s pop music and lay it before us as something new. A treat for those of us who love pure pop music from that era.&#8221;</p>
<p>Swirsky is also the hit songwriter and co-leader of the acclaimed, British Invasion-minded duo <strong>with Mike Ruekberg</strong>,<strong> The Red Button, which has also earned rave reviews for the album She’s About To Cross My Mind. Swirsky and Ruekberg are </strong>slated to release a second album in winter 2011.</p>
<p>“If The Red Button’s big Beatlesy powerpop could be described in bold poster colours, then this – Seth’s second solo album – is, as the title implies, all summer pastels and watercolours. Slip this one on the personal stereo and head for the beach,” raved <strong>Paul Suggitt</strong> of the popular UK-based magazine, <strong>Shindig!</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong><strong>SETH SWIRSKY’S ‘<em>WATERCOLOR DAY’</em><br />
IS A PICTURE OF POP DELIGHTS</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong><strong>The New Album From Hit Songwriter, And Co-Leader Of The<br />
Acclaimed The Red Button, Presents A Song Cycle That<br />
Conjures Up Images Of Sweet Summer Days</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://seth.com/">Seth Swirsky</a></strong> just wants to make the world whistle and hum, and that’s just what he does on his new, second solo album, <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Watercolor Day</span></strong>.</p>
<p>Swirsky’s love of classically constructed pop songs continues from his winning solo debut, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Instant Pleasure</span> (Best Pop Album 2005, <strong>Los Angeles Music Awards</strong>) through his deliciously retro, British Invasion-minded project with Mike Ruekberg, <strong>The Red Button</strong>, whose 2007 release, <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">She’s About to Cross My Mind</span></strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">,</span> was both a critical and commercial success. “If The Red Button was around in the ‘60s,” said legendary Beatles recording engineer, <strong>Norman Smith</strong>, “I would have signed them to EMI!”</p>
<p>Now, just two years later, comes Swirsky’s highly ambitious (18 songs in just 43 minutes) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Watercolor Day</span><em>.</em> To borrow a phrase coined by the great <strong>Nick Lowe</strong>, this is truly an album of <em>pure pop for now people</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Susanna Hoffs</strong> of <strong>The Bangles</strong> agrees: “<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Watercolor Day</span> is a sonic banquet of delicious melodies, melt-in–your-mouth harmonies, warm butterscotch guitars that jangle and shine &#8212; made with love and reverence for the music of the golden age of pop &#8212; guaranteed to raise a smile!’”</p>
<p>Swirsky’s songs have their roots in the most blissful work of <strong>Brian Wilson</strong>, <strong>Paul McCartney’s Wings</strong>, <strong>ELO </strong>and the smart style of <strong>Burt Bacharach</strong>. Some highlights include the <strong>10cc</strong>-inspired, “<strong>Matchbook Cover</strong>,” the baroque “<strong>Song for Heather</strong>,” the sunshine-y “<strong>Summer in Her Hair</strong>” and the cheeky “<strong>Big Mistake</strong>.”</p>
<p>But to Paul Ellis, music-historian and member of the highly acclaimed rock group, Pop Archaeology Transmission, the songs on Watercolor Day can be compared with the best in the pop genre:  “I was going to say that Seth has created one of the best current retro ‘60s Sunshine Pop albums out there, but that’s not the whole story. What he’s actually created is one of THE best albums in that style, ever. Period. Regardless of the “when” aspect, this is 21<sup>st</sup> century Wrecking Crew stuff. If you heard his Red Button album &#8212; She’s About to Cross My Mind &#8212; and now with Watercolor Day (and his first album, Instant Pleasure), you’ll know what I mean when I say he’s a stunningly great pop songwriter, in the same company as some of the greats of the 1964-1974, golden era of pop music.</p>
<p>The welcoming Title song builds from a tuneful folkish strum until it is visited by pedal steel droplets, a crunchy, full-blown horn section and twisting guitar candy, balanced over a gallop-and-trot rhythm.</p>
<p>A tribute to the late <strong>Harry Nilsson</strong>, “(I Never Knew You) Harry,” is another standout single, while “She’s Doing Fine” would have fit nicely on <strong>The Beach Boys’</strong> <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pet Sounds</span></strong> with its harmony-drenched, melodic melancholia.</p>
<p>Another treat is “<strong>Fading Again</strong>,” which describes Swirsky’s battle with boredom: “Too many lists to make, too many pills to take. Not enough hours to bake in the sun.”</p>
<p>There is even a coda at the end of the album (who does codas these days?) in the form of the song “<strong>I’m Just Sayin</strong>’” – which beautifully interweaves four melodies from earlier songs, in effect, “tying up” the album in a nice, neat bow.</p>
<p>Swirsky spent years as a staff songwriter for Warner-Chappell and EMI, writing a number of worldwide hits for a startling variety of artists, including <strong>Taylor Dayne </strong>(“Tell it to My Heart”), <strong>Al Green</strong> (“Love is a Beautiful Thing”), <strong>Rufus Wainwright</strong> (“Instant Pleasure”), <strong>Jane Weidlin </strong>of the <strong>Go-Gos</strong>, <strong>Tina Turner</strong>, <strong>Celine Dion</strong> and <strong>Smokey Robinson</strong>, among many others. He has garnered 32 gold and platinum records and numerous <strong>ASCAP </strong>songwriting awards.</p>
<p>A self-described “<strong>Manic Expressive</strong>,” Swirsky has also created three bestselling baseball books (including the wryly-titled “<strong>Every Pitcher Tells A Story</strong>”) and even has in his collection the ball that went through <strong>Bill Buckner</strong>’s legs in the 1986 World Series. Additionally, he’s completing a documentary, “Beatles Stories<em>,</em>” featuring interviews with people (<strong>Sir Ben Kingsley</strong>, <strong>Graham Nash</strong>, <strong>Sir George Martin</strong>, <strong>Justin Hayward</strong> and over 60 more) who share personal, inside stories about themselves and the Fab Four.</p>
<p>Now, as <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Watercolor Day</span> is finally unveiled, rave reviews are already pouring in from those who have heard it: “This highly creative album must be listened to in headphones. Loud. A truly top-shelf record from the first track to the last,” says syndicated L.A. radio (<strong>KLSX-FM</strong>) personality, <strong>Chris Carter</strong>.</p>
<p>“On <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Watercolor Day</span>, Seth Swirsky’s irresistibly melodic tunes are in full bloom, a treat for those of us who love classic pop music,” says <strong>Jack Oliver</strong>, the first President of the Beatles’ fabled <strong>Apple Records</strong>.</p>
<p>For Swirsky, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Watercolor Day </span>is a true state of mind. “Everyday is a watercolor day, different feelings, different emotions all running together as greens and blues run together in a watercolor painting.” </p>
