<p class="MsoNormal">(Los Angeles, CA- February 27, 2015) – Fast-rising Los Angeles-based quintet
<b>North of Nine</b> are set to release their debut EP <b><i>Alive</i></b> on <b>
March 10</b><b>, 2015,</b> executive produced by industry mogul <b>Randy Jackson</b> and produced by
<b>Gavin Brown</b> (Lady Gaga, Three Days Grace, Barenaked Ladies). <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HR8jzu2IGcU">
<b>PRESS HERE</b></a> to watch the official video for the strutting up-tempo <b>lead single</b>
<b>“Can It Be You?” </b>directed by <b>Dennis Liu</b> (Capital Cities, Sara Bareilles, SIA, Justin Timberlake). The infectious song is currently
<b>heating up at Hot AC Radio</b> across the country and the band was recently named
<b>KIIS-FM’s #NextUp Artist of the Week</b>. On <i>Alive,</i> <b>North of Nine</b> delivers earworm hooks, blue-eyed soul, polished songwriting and tender ballads all while the rock ‘n’ roll heartbeat of the band shines through.
<b><a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6487405/north-of-nine-randy-jackson-exclusive">PRESS HERE</a></b> to watch the brand new live video for
<b>“Can It Be You?,</b>” which premiered today on <b><i>Billboard.com</i></b> and was filmed live at
<b>Henson Recording Studios</b> in LA. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>North of Nine</b> will make their <b>SXSW </b>debut at the festival
<b>on March 21<sup>st</sup></b>, and will also be playing several LA shows in March before making their way to
<b>Napa Valley, CA,</b> for an acoustic performance at <b>Live in the Vineyard</b>, an exclusive, “winner”-only three-day music event featuring a bill that includes
<b>Florida Georgia Line, The Ting Tings, Lifehouse, NEEDTOBREATHE</b> and many more. To enter to win online or through a local radio station, visit

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>North of Nine</b> is the brainchild of 18-year-old singer/songwriter, frontman and keyboardist,
<b>Jackson Guthy</b>, and is rounded out by drummer <b>Rob Ketchum</b>, guitarist
<b>Michael O'Grady</b>, bassist <b>Edison Lo</b>, and keyboardist <b>Nolan Frank</b>. Over the past three years, Guthy achieved quick success as a solo artist, landing performances on
<b><i>The Ellen DeGeneres Show</i></b> twice, sharing the stage with the likes of
<b>One Direction, Five Seconds of Summer, Cher Lloyd and Fifth Harmony </b>and finding a true believer in manager and executive producer
<b>R</b><b>andy Jackson.</b> Now Guthy is the creative engine behind his new band
<b>North of Nine</b>. The band name came from one of his favorite inspirational phrases “follow your true north” and the fact that all nine planets were aligned the year he was born. It’s safe to say that a lot more will be aligning for this promising young
band in 2015. <o:p></o:p></p>
