Houston, TX | July 6, 2016 - Jaeger Wells (Ed Sheeran meets The Maine) singer/songwriter is shaping the format of today's true rock and roll by bringing guitar driven pop storylines to life. He masters the art of bridging personal triumphs and experiences into songs about heavy subject matters but with a twist. In 2015, Jaeger ventured to the studio with highly-acclaimed singer/songwriter/producer, Ace Enders (best known for The Early November), to write, record, produce Fever Dream Anthology, an EP filled with real life situations of love, loss, and everything in-between.

 

Today, Jaeger Wells is thrilled to unveil Fever Dream Anthology: Deluxe Edition due out this September (9/9/16) featuring the original 5 positively charming anthems with his previous release (Fever Dream Anthology, 2015) and a newly developed punchy rock undertone of his original "Boston," acoustic rendition of original "Plans," smooth cover of Justin Timberlake's smash "Can't Stop The Feeling," and powerfully charged acoustic/live studio cover of "Trailer Park Jesus" by Glassjaw to round out the deluxe edition. The EP features Vic Chan on Drums, Jaeger Wells on Guitar, Robin Macri-Gazza on Piano and Ace Enders on Bass and was also produced and engineered by Ace Enders.  Ace Enders had this to say about recording with Jaeger: "It was a great experience, it was a nice and cool approach to recording songs and allowed us to use a different vocal technique. This is probably what made the record, which created a vibey texture that was different in the album, which allowed the rest of the songs to take shape. This was my favorite part of the entire experience. Not every artist is open to that and I think that's why it came out so cool and it naturally formed the vibe around it."

 

To commemorate this announcement, Jaeger Wells has exclusively partnered with Paste Magazine to unveil the brand new music video for hit single off Fever Dreamer Anthology and also on the deluxe version, "Sao Paulo Liars Club" which can be viewed here. Jaeger had this to add about the track: "Sao Paulo came about when I first started traveling a great deal by myself. There were a lot of long hours on buses and planes to various places, some exotic, some not so much, where I felt like I was just in a catatonic  state of transit and mind. I tried to combat the creeping loneliness by holding onto any shred of comfort that I thought I could find. This song is about staring at the mini bar and listening to the violent hum you only hear in hospitals and hotels."

 

More Info on Jaeger Wells: With years of writing and releasing music, Jaeger Wells has mastered the art of bringing guitar driven pop storylines to life. He sings of personal experience, strife and anxieties like a lovechild of The Maine and Ed Sheeran would - tackling heavy subject matters with an upbeat and bright outlook his songwriting discusses the real life situations of love, loss, and everything in-between with the goal of showing listeners that they're not alone and emphasizes the idea that giving up isn't your only option when things don't go according to plan. That listeners can free oneself from anything not worth their time or full of drama and to learn from past experiences, a heavy task for a singer/songwriter, but something he is confident in doing.

 

In 2015, he ventured into the studio with The Early November aficionado, Ace Enders who was the lead Producer and Engineer on, Fever Dream Anthology, which featured Vic Chan on Drums, Jaeger Wells on Guitar, Robin Macri-Gazza on Piano and Ace Enders on Bass. Wells explains, "His (Ace Enders) compositions and production ear has always piqued my interests - and I felt that he was someone who could see into my head and hear the same things I was." Fever Dream Anthology, shines with signature honest and punchy tracks like, "Sao Paolo Liars Club," "What It Feels Like," and "Rotten Apple" which explore inspiring messages with catchy, melodic lyrics that remind us that life throws curve balls, but even if we strike out, we don't have to quit the game. "Sao Paolo Liars Club," in particular, is especially meaningful to Wells.  He crafted the song while traveling alone, "There were a lot of long hours on buses and planes to various places, some exotic, some not so much, where I felt like I was just in a catatonic state of transit and mind. I tried to combat the creeping loneliness by holding onto any shred of comfort that I thought I could find. This song is about starting at the mini bar and listening to the violent hum you only hear in hospitals and hotels." The song premiered on notable publication, Baeble who stated: "Sao Paulo Liars Club... fuses pulsating but twinkling piano lines with heavy lyrical themes sang in an upbeat but ragged tone. With so many artists today trying so desperately to polish their sound to the point it loses all identity, Jaeger Wells has crafted a track that allows his personality and a gorgeous melody to shine through."

 

Wells' success wouldn't be possible without the assistance of family and music teachers throughout his childhood. Growing up in a household that cherished music, "I was lucky enough that my parents always had the stereo on, and that now has been passed along to me where I can't go anywhere or do anything without music playing." He started playing the trumpet in elementary school, quickly graduated to drums in middle school, and at the age of 14, Wells discovered his love for guitar. Wells took preference to jazzmasters and masters the instrument that would eventually create such meaningful songs. Today, he is in the process of building a custom guitar to further enhance his technique, always trying to be one step ahead of another. Throughout this time period Wells was learning so much of what the world could offer. At a young age he became inspired by the power of telling the truth which led to his characteristic songwriting today. As he developed as an artist, he learned that the truth was not completely enough for his music so he now includes story telling of events that he has witnessed in his music style. "I think my music is really for anyone on the cusp of making a big change; whether you are going off to college and being away from home for the first time or watching a marriage disintegrate in front of you."

 

He attributes this life journey and his ever-growing musical interests and exploration to the people he has met along the way and his support from friends and family. Wells would categorize his music best for people in their twenty's, however, he believes that anybody can truly identify with his music especially people who are going through a major life event or change. His style doesn't fit into a specific genre but rather combines a multitude of options into a very difficult yet complex music style. Wells explores further, "my music really falls into the punk rock Neil Diamond category. While it isn't theatrical like Panic at The Disco! or Say Anything - it still has an unhinged element of grandeur to it."

 

"Outside of songwriting and traveling with his guitar in tow, he is heavily involved with The Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that helps heal wounded soldiers or family members who have gone through a difficult time. They were founded in 2003 with the mission of taking a holistic approach in helping and their families become empowered mentally, physically, and economically to help today's veterans lead well-adjusted lives post conflict. Wells continues, "In a day and age where we struggle to provide benefits to those who have served our country, Wounded Warrior Project does a phenomenal job helping deal with the physical and emotional scars of being in battle."

 

Today, Wells is celebrating the year of Fever Dream Anthology which a deluxe version out this September, 2016 featuring new songs and a closer look at the stories that started it all.
