ABOUT EVANESCENCE:

Formed in the mid-‘90s, the two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning EVANESCENCE has three albums under their belt. The band was integral in establishing a global, critical mass in rock. The group’s 2003 landmark debut album, Fallen, laid the foundation; spending 43 weeks on the Billboard Top 10, the album sold more than 17 million copies worldwide and was certified 7x platinum in the U.S. Global hit “Bring Me to Life” reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 as well as marking their first U.K. #1. The equally popular “My Immortal” peaked at #7 in the U.S. and U.K., and both songs were featured on the soundtrack for the action movie Daredevil. The album produced four singles total, including “Going Under” (#5 U.S. Modern Rock, #8 U.K.) and “Everybody’s Fool” (#36 U.S. Modern Rock, #23 U.K.). Fallen is one of only eight albums in the history of the chart to spend at least a year on the Billboard Top 50; it spent 104 weeks on the Billboard 200 and is #32 on the “Greatest of All Time, Billboard 200.” EVANESCENCE has won two GRAMMY Awards, including “Best New Artist” and “Best Hard Rock Performance,” out of a total of seven career nominations. Following multiple worldwide tours, EVANESCENCE released their first live album, Anywhere But Home, which sold more than one million copies worldwide.

The group truly delivered a transcendent concert experience.

ABOUT LINDSEY STIRLING:

Lindsey Stirling remains fearless enough to always dream big. In the over five years since the release of her 2012 self-titled debut, the electronic music impresario, violinist, dancer, and artist quietly and humbly became one of the 21st century’s most innovative stars by clinging to her groundbreaking vision of cinematic, violin-driven electronic music. After bowing at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Dance/Electronic Album Chart, holding #1 on the Classical Album Chart for 21 consecutive weeks, and receiving a Billboard Music Award for “Top Dance/Electronic Album,” her sophomore opus, Shatter Me, would not only garner an RIAA Gold certification, but it would rank as the #2 Dance/Electronic Album and #1 Classical Album on Billboard’s 2015 Year-End charts. Attracting over 10 million subscribers and 2 billion-plus views on YouTube, in 2015 Forbes placed Lindsey at #4 on its yearly YouTube artists list, making her the highest-ranked female. Her headline tours would play to a cumulative audience of over 500,000 people worldwide, and her literary debut, The Only Pirate at the Party—co-written with her sister Brook S. Passey—became aNew York Times Bestseller. Lindsey’s third-studio album, Brave Enough, debuted at #5 on Billboard’s Top 200 Album Chart, went on to score the #1 spot on Billboard’s year-end Top Dance/Electronic Album list, and earned Stirling a 2017 Billboard Music Award for “Top Dance/Electronic Album.” Recently, Lindsey released her first-ever holiday album, titled Warmer in the Winter, in October. Featuring classic and original songs, the album went on to become the #1 new Christmas album of 2017, ahead of pop music heavyweights such as Gwen Stefani and Sia. She was also the runner-up on Season 25 of ABC’s hit show Dancing with the Stars with her partner Mark Ballas. Stirling is the model of a modern independent recording artist with a symbiotic relationship with her fans. A motivational speaker in her spare time, Stirling uses her own story to show teenagers that you’ve got to have confidence in the very thing that makes you unique – then wait for the world to catch up.
