(Nashville, Tenn. – May 2, 2017) Curb Records’ recording duo, American Young is kicking off summer with an eleven-date European tour. Although this is the duo’s fifth time overseas and second
European tour in 2017, this will be the first time they are headlining
the entire leg of the tour, making stops in Switzerland, United Kingdom,
Netherlands, and Norway. In promotion of their recently released debut
album, AY, the tour will commence on June 24th in Switzerland.
“We
are very excited to experience the European audiences again, we connect
with them in such a special way, it’s hard to describe,” comments Jon Stone, “The energy, the enthusiasm—It’s so much fun to be able to bring our passion to Europe, and the fans be so welcoming.”
Comprised of songwriter/musician, Kristy Osmunson, and songwriter/producer, Jon Stone,
American Young released their debut album in late 2016. Penning 11 of
the 12 tracks, showcasing Osmunson and Stone’s natural songwriting
abilities, the record features their first single, “Love is War,” along
with tracks such as “God Sends a Train,” which speaks of the real-life
devastation Osmunson endured when her mother was hit by a train but
lived and eventually walked again, “Be Here,” which pleads for a moment
of peace without the distractions of today’s world, and “Something to
You,” which Osmunson fought back tears to record in the studio.

About American Young: American Young is comprised of songwriter/musician, Kristy Osmunson, and songwriter/producer, Jon Stone,
who are complete opposites when it comes to personality, but come
together to create hauntingly beautiful music stemmed solely from their
own personal experiences. Both are established songwriters in their own
right and wrote 11 out of the 12 tracks on their recently released debut
album, AY.
Kristy Osmunson,
born and raised in Idaho, grew up playing the violin. She went from
playing at honky-tonks to co-founding the electrifying fiddle-duo Bomshel
and writing the Joey + Rory hit “Cheater, Cheater,” well on her way as a
songwriter and solo artist before crossing paths with Stone.
Jon Stone,
originally from Oregon, is too country born and bred, for a while even
working as a bull rider, before he was a solo act turned successful
producer/songwriter including Kenny Chesney’s “Seven Days,” Blake
Shelton’s “Kiss My Country Ass,” and Rascal Flatts’ “Me and My Gang.”
